Move file based on filename
Hi All
I need a script to manipulate files based on a filename:
example filename: 66600_042706.pdf
the script will create a directory 66000 only if this directory is not existing. If that directory is existing it will just move the file to 66000/666000_042706.pdf
in addition, i want to make sure that when moving the filename to the directory and there's an existing file with the same filename, it will add a random digit e.g. 66000/66000_042706_123.pdf
thanks
