Instead of using:
Code:
awk -v a=$FILE -v b=".[sS][0-9][0-9][eE][0-9][0-9]." 'BEGIN{print substr(a,0,match(a,b)+3)}'

to get your intermediate directory names, you could try:
Code:
${FILE%[Ee][0-9][0-9].*}

If I understood what you're trying to do correctly, the following shell script seems to do what you want. (I usually use the Korn shell, but this script will work with any shell that performs basic POSIX conforming parameter expansions. It was tested with ksh and bash.)
Code:
#!/bin/ksh
# Set pathname for parent destination directory.
DestDir="${PWD}/sorted"
# Move into source directory (named by 1st parameter; default: ./src)
cd ${1:-src}
# Process list of files containing desired pattern...
ls *.[Ss][0-9][0-9][Ee][0-9][0-9].* | while IFS="" read -r src
do      if [ ! -f "$src" ]
        then continue   # Skip all but regular files.
        fi
        # Extract subdirectory name in destination parent directory from $src:
        MidDir="${src%[Ee][0-9][0-9].*}"
        # Create the destination directory if it doesn't already exist.
        if [ ! -d "$DestDir/$MidDir" ]
        then    mkdir "$DestDir/$MidDir"
        fi
        # Move the source file to its new destination.
        mv "$src" "$DestDir/$MidDir"
done

Obviously, you should verify that the cd. mkdir and mv commands all succeed and this script should exit with a non-zero exit status if any errors were detected.

mlib_imageerode4_fp

mlib_ImageErode4_Fp(3MLIB)				    mediaLib Library Functions					mlib_ImageErode4_Fp(3MLIB)

NAME

       mlib_ImageErode4_Fp - four neighbor erode

SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag... ] file... -lmlib [ library... ]
       #include <mlib.h>

       mlib_status mlib_ImageErode4_Fp(mlib_image *dst, const mlib_image *src);

DESCRIPTION

       The  mlib_ImageErode4_Fp() function performs an erode operation on an image by using each pixel's four orthogonal neighbors. The source and
       destination images must be single-channel images. The data type of the images can be MLIB_FLOAT or MLIB_DOUBLE.

       For 4-neighbor grayscale images, it uses the following equation:

       dst[x][y][0] = MIN{ src[x][y][0],
			   src[x-1][y][0], src[x+1][y][0],
			   src[x][y-1][0], src[x][y+1][0] }

       where x = 1, ..., w-2; y = 1, ..., h-2.

PARAMETERS

       The function takes the following arguments:

       dst	       Pointer to destination image.

       src	       Pointer to source image.

RETURN VALUES

       The function returns MLIB_SUCCESS if successful. Otherwise it returns MLIB_FAILURE.
