Complex File Move

Hello,
This is my first post, so please forgive my obvious lack of UNIX knowledge. I am trying/needing to write a script that follows this functional flow:

1. Access a config file that contains format:

Code:
<directory> <filetype> <daterange> 
<directory> <filetype> <daterange> 
<directory> <filetype> <daterange> 
...

per row, with no limit on the number of rows.

2. Copy these files meeting this criteria to a temp folder and zip them, using the current date/time as the zip file name.

This executable needs to be run daily at midnight (via crontab)?

Thank you for helping me solve this! Smilie
