Expanding on what RudiC has already said...

With over 900 posts, you know the standard questions for every thread in this forum...
  1. What operating system are you using?
  2. What shell are you using?
  3. What have you tried to solve this problem on your own?
And a few more questions related to this thread...
  1. Are all of the files to be moved located in a single directory?
  2. If not, in what directories are they located?
  3. When you say you have a large number of files, are there so many that if you run the commands year=2018, day=030, and then ls -1 *.d.$year.$day.*.sac that you get an error from your shell saying something like "argument list too long"? Note that you should try this with year and day values for the day with the largest number of files you'll need to process.
