Checks existance of files and only tries to move files that exist. Will only create set directory if 1 or more filse exists for range of the 12 value range:

Code:
#/bin/ksh
cd /home/pat/data/study1
num=0
while [ $num -le 3500 ]
do
    FILE=$(printf "data_%03d.img" $num)
    [ -f $FILE ] && MVLIST="$MVLIST $FILE"
    if [ $(($num % 12)) -eq 0 ] || [ $num -eq 3500 ]
    then
        if [ -n "$MVLIST" ]
        then
            [ -d $dir ] || mkdir $dir
            mv $MVLIST $dir
        fi
        MVLIST=
        dir=/home/pat/data/set$((1+num/12))
    fi
    let num+=1
done

img-xpm

img-xpm(3tk)															      img-xpm(3tk)

NAME

       img-xpm - Img, X Windows Pixmap Format (xpm)

SYNOPSIS

       package require Tk

       package require img::xpm  ?1.3?

       image create photo ?name? ?options?

DESCRIPTION

       The  package  img::xpm  is a sub-package of Img. It can be loaded as a part of the complete Img support, via package require Img, or on its
       own, via package require img::xpm.

       Like all packages of Img it does not provide new commands, but extends the existing Tk command image so that it supports  files	containing
       raster images in the X Windows Pixmap Format (xpm). More specifically img::xpm extends Tk's photo image type.

       The name of the new format handler is xpm.  This handler does not provide additional configuration options.

       All of the above means that in a call like

       image create photo ?name? ?options?

       [1]    Image data in xpm format (options -data and -file) is detected automatically.

       [2]    The format name xpm is recognized by the option -format.
