Sorting Files by date and moving files in date order
I need to build a k shell script that will sort files in a directory where files appear like this "XXXX_2008021213.DAT. I need to sort by date in the filename and then move files by individual date to a working folder. concatenate the files in the working folder then start a process once process is finish then increment by +1 and move the next date to the working folder. Using a AIX box but shortly will be switching to Linux
