Debian Archive files to different target folders based on criteria

Hi All,
I am creting archive script in which i need to split the source file's to different target folder's based on the input file name first character.

Input1.txt -- will contains file names that are needs to be Archive.

Input1.txt
Code:
A1213355
B2255666
C2254555
A6655444
C5566445

Source folder will have many different source files , from the source file i needs to archive only the files which are listed in the Input1.txt
sample source folder files
Code:
A1213355
A6565656
B2255666
B5555555
C2254555
A6655444
C5566445

my desired output is based on input1.txt:
AFolder-- should have archived files [A1213355,A6655444]
BFolder-- should have archived files [B2255666]
CFolder-- should have archived files [C2254555,A6655444,C5566445]

my code is like:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
CURRDATE=`date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S`
Filest="A:AFolder  B:BFolder C:CFolder"
for a in ${Filest}
do
        FOLDER=`echo ${CURRENT_SET} | cut -f2 -d:`
        FILE_NAME=`echo ${CURRENT_SET} | cut -f1 -d:`
        echo ${FOLDER}
        echo ${FILE_NAME}
done
 
cat $SOURCE_FOLDER/input1.txt |
        while read N
                do
                tar -cvf $FOLDER/$N"_"$CURRDATE.tar $SOURCE_FOLDER/$N
        done

Could you please guide me how to achieve this task...Smilie

Thanks in advance...

RDUP-UP(1)							       rdup								RDUP-UP(1)

NAME
rdup-up - update a directory tree with a rdup archive SYNOPSIS
rdup-up [OPTION]... DIRECTORY DESCRIPTION
With rdup-up you can update an (possibly) existing directory structure with a rdup archive. The rdup archive has to be given to rdup-up's standard input. Username and uids rdup outputs both the username and uid, the receiving system (which may be a totally different system) checks if the username and uid match. If the username and uid don't match the (numeric) uid is used on the file. The same holds true for the groupname and gid. OPTIONS
-n Do a dry-run and do not create anything on disk. -t Create DIRECTORY (ala mkdir -p) if it does not exist. -s N Strip N path components from a pathname. If the resulting pathname is empty after this operation it is skipped. Be careful however with the following structure: /foo /foo/bar /foo/bar/bla.txt /foo/blork/bla.txt With rdup-up -s2 this will leave: <empty> <empty> /bla.txt /bla.txt And the last 'bla.txt' will overwrite the previous one, this will happen without warnings. -r PATH This option is related to the -s option, but works different. The string PATH is removed from (the beginning of) each pathname. With -r /home/backup the pathname /home/backup/bin/mycmd becomes /bin/mycmd. The same could be done with -s 2, but then you need to count the slashes. Note -s is always performed before -r. -v Be more verbose and echo the processed files to standard output. -vv Be even more verbose and echo processed file and the uid and gid information to standard output. -T Show a table of contents of the rdup stream received (ala tar -tf -). With -T the directory argument is optional. -T unsets any verbose (-v) options. -h A short help message. -V Show the version. EXIT CODE
rdup-up return a zero exit code on success, otherwise 1 is returned. AUTHOR
