Shell script to delete specify directory

I have the following directories under "0.0.0.0"

Code:

/scratch/builds/snapshotBuilds/0.0.0.0
drwxr-xr-x+  tested-571
drwxr-xr-x+  tested-576
drwxr-xr-x+  tested-597
drwxr-xr-x+  600
drwxr-xr-x+  601
drwxr-xr-x+  602
drwxr-xr-x+  603
drwxr-xr-x+  tested-604
drwxr-xr-x+  tested-605
drwxr-xr-x+  tested-606
drwxr-xr-x+  tested-608
drwxr-xr-x+  613
drwxr-xr-x+  tested-614
drwxr-xr-x+  617
drwxr-xr-x+  618
drwxr-xr-x+  619
drwxr-xr-x+  620
drwxr-xr-x+  621
drwxr-xr-x+  622
drwxr-xr-x+  623
drwxr-xr-x+  624
drwxr-xr-x+  631
drwxr-xr-x+  632
drwxr-xr-x+  635

And Here is my requirement, please help me to write a shell script i.e.
from the above list, i want to rename directory 621 to tested-621 and the shell script should KEEP (dont not delete) builds 620, tested-621 and 622 and delete rest of the directories before 620 and after 621 (tested-621). Please note, I want to keep all the directories that are starting with tested-xxxx

Could you please help?

I found the following command in the forum:

Code:

find . -type d | awk '!/\.\/tested*/' | xargs -p rm -rf

But this will keep all the directories that are starting with tested* and delete rest all the directories. But, i want to keep all the tested* directories plus keep build+1 and build -1. For example, under "0.0.0.0" directory say build 50 is renamed to tested-50 then Your script should KEEP build 49, tested-50, 51.

NAME

       CPANPLUS::Shell - base class for CPANPLUS shells

SYNOPSIS

	   use CPANPLUS::Shell; 	    # load the shell indicated by your

DESCRIPTION

       This module is the generic loading (and base class) for all "CPANPLUS" shells. Through this module you can load any installed "CPANPLUS"
       shell.

       Just about all the functionality is provided by the shell that you have loaded, and not by this class (which merely functions as a generic
       loading class), so please consult the documentation of your shell of choice.
