Move txt file to with current date appended to filename
I have multiple txt files which begin with the word "orders" in folder C:\source. I need to move the files to folder C:\dest and rename them to "process_<date>_<count>"
So for example , if there are 3 files ordersa.txt , ordersb.txt and ordersc.txt in C:\source , after running the script I want these files to be in C:\dest with filenames process_12072011_01.txt , process_12072011_02.txt , process_12072011_03.txt
I know its a simple requirement but its munumental for a newbie like me.

gtkdoc-mktmpl
gtkdoc-mktmpl(1) General Commands Manual gtkdoc-mktmpl(1)
NAME
gtkdoc-mktmpl -- GTK DocBook documentation generator.
SYNOPSIS
gtkdoc-mktmpl [ See below ]
DESCRIPTION
gtkdoc-mktmpl This creates or updates the template files which contain the manually-edited documentation. (A template is a simple text form
which is filled in with the description of a function, macro, enum, or struct. For functions and macros it also contains fields for
describing the parameters.)
This script reads in the existing templates, found in tmpl/*.sgml, moves these files to tmpl/*.sgml.bak, and then recreates the .sgml files
according to the structure given in the file MODULE-sections.txt.
Any new templates added, or new function parameters, are marked with FIXME so you can do a grep to see which parts need updating.
Any templates which are no longer used (i.e. they are remove from MODULE-sections.txt) are placed in the file tmpl/MODULE-unused.txt. If
they are included again later they are automatically copied back into position. If you are certain that these templates will never be used
again you can delete them from MODULE-unused.txt.
Any parameters to functions which are no longer used are separated from the rest of the parameters with the line <!-- # Unused Parameters #
-->. It may be that the parameter name has just been changed, in which case you can copy the description to the parameter with the new
name. You can delete the unused parameter descriptions when no longer needed.
EXAMPLE
See /usr/share/doc/gtk-doc-tools/examples, for a makefile.am and a configure.in example file.
