file moving based on file content

Hi All

my scenario is as follows...

I have the following three files in directory alphabet, containing the respective character string...

Filename Character String
alphabet01.dat AAA
alphabet02.dat BBB
alphabet03.dat CCC

based on the character string within the file, i would like to move the file to another directory, namely

file alphabet01.dat, with character string AAA must move to directory A
file alphabet02.dat, with character string BBB must move to directory B
file alphabet03.dat, with character string CCC must move to directory C

Any assistance in this regard would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
Mel
