Sequentially rename multiple files

Hello team,

We wish to develop a script as follows :

1. Rename multiple files in the following way:
example
Original file names : test.txt and dummy.txt
New file names : test.$(date +"%F").AAAAA<serialno_1>.BBBBBB.p and dummy.$(date +"%F").AAAAA<serialno_2>.BBBBBB.p

2. The script would run every hour where the serialno counter would continue from the count of the last run.

3. The serialno counter would reset at 00:00:00 everyday.

4. The files with the new filenames will be moved to a different location.

We have done the following implementation till now. However, I am finding it a little difficult given my limited knowledge of Linux shell scripting

This is just a test implementation :

Code:
 
for i in {1..5}
do
   mv *.txt test.$(date +"%F").AAAAA$i.111111.p
   echo "file renamed"
done

Could you please help.
Thanks,
Haider
