The question RudiC presented was not about your requirements, but about what operating system you're using (which you have yet to answer) and what shell you're using (which you have answered). He also asked what you have tried to solve this problem on your own. We are here to help you learn how to use the tools available on your operating system to do what you need to do. We are not here to act as your unpaid programming staff.

Please tell us what operating system you're using. The output from:
Code:
uname -a

is a great way to tell us what we need to know.

And, please show us what you have tried to solve this problem on your own.

If the various parts of your filenames are not all fixed length, you could also try something like:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
for file in 010020*[_-]S[_-]*[_-]*[_-]*[_-][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][01][0-9][0-3][0-9][_-][0-2][0-9][0-6][0-9][0-6][0-9].txt
do	IFS='[_-]'
	set -- $file
	unset IFS
	destination=/tmp/${1}_$2-$3-$4-$5
	mkdir -p "$destination"
	mv "$file" "$destination/$file"
done
