sorting file names with hyphen and underscore

Hi,

I have two types of file names

filename1_12345 or filename1-12345 at the same time I have second type
filename2-12345 in a txt file.

I am trying to write awk script that will sort these names with below pattern


ALL file names like
filename1_12345 and filename1-12345 will go to folder1 (lets say same directory)
filename1_23451and filenmae1_23451 will go to folder2

filename1_34512 and filename1_34512 will go to folder 3

till 9

and rest all filename2- whaterever will go to folder-temp


all the these files are listed in a txt file and I can use move command to move.

can you please give me a direction to sort for numbers.

NAME
bdiff - big diff SYNOPSIS
bdiff filename1 filename2 [n] [-s] DESCRIPTION
bdiff is used in a manner analogous to diff to find which lines in filename1 and filename2 must be changed to bring the files into agree- ment. Its purpose is to allow processing of files too large for diff. If filename1 (filename2) is -, the standard input is read. bdiff ignores lines common to the beginning of both files, splits the remainder of each file into n-line segments, and invokes diff on cor- responding segments. If both optional arguments are specified, they must appear in the order indicated above. The output of bdiff is exactly that of diff, with line numbers adjusted to account for the segmenting of the files (that is, to make it look as if the files had been processed whole). Note: Because of the segmenting of the files, bdiff does not necessarily find a smallest sufficient set of file differences. OPTIONS
n The number of line segments. The value of n is 3500 by default. If the optional third argument is given and it is numeric, it is used as the value for n. This is useful in those cases in which 3500-line segments are too large for diff, causing it to fail. -s Specifies that no diagnostics are to be printed by bdiff (silent option). Note: However, this does not suppress possible diagnos- tic messages from diff, which bdiff calls. USAGE
See largefile(5) for the description of the behavior of bdiff when encountering files greater than or equal to 2 Gbyte ( 2**31 bytes). FILES
