Script moving files based on date
Hi,
I need a script that moves files based on date to a folder. The folder should be created based on file date. Example is :
Date file name
----- --------
Oct 08 07:39 10112012_073952.xls
Oct 09 07:39 10112012_073952.xls
Oct 10 07:39 10112012_073952.xls
Oct 11 07:39 10112012_073952.xls
and it should create like below :
Folder names should be like:
08Oct2012
09Oct2012
10Oct2012
11Oct2012
Files should be moved to respective folders based on date like :
08Oct2012 -->Oct 08 07:39 10112012_073952.xls
09Oct2012 -->Oct 09 07:39 10112012_073952.xls
10Oct2012 -->Oct 10 07:39 10112012_073952.xls
11Oct2012 -->Oct 11 07:39 10112012_073952.xls
Let me know the script how to achieve this.
