Move File Containing More Than two "-" at 3rd Line To New Directory

Hi Guys

I am trying to move file containing more than two - at the 3rd line of each files to a new directory. The files are something like this :

Code:
****** Text ******

[text-text-text]
/text/

text text
[text-text]

I want to make sure the search effect only take place on the 3rd line one as there might me similar pattern in other lines in some text files.

This is the closest command I could write so far :
Code:
find . -maxdepth 1 -name '*-*-*-*' -type f -exec mv '{}' '/new_directory' \;

I've got no idea how to make it take effect on just 3rd line for the searching part and it doesn't seem to find the "string" containing in the file either. Smilie This search only take place on the filenames, not what's inside the file.

Thank you in advance Smilie
