You present a list of sample filenames, but said nothing about how to select files from the list. If you want useful assistance, provide a useful problem description.
For starters, how would the solution select the files to be moved? Will it just move files from the current date? From yesterday? From the previous week? WIll a date range be passed to the script through command line arguments?
Be more specific. If you have attempted a solution, show us what you've done and explain how it failed.

If that's the case, then the only thing you need is pattern
