It's always recommended to mention your OS' and shell's versions; that keeps people from guessing.
Assuming
bash. Look into its
man page:
Quote:
ARITHMETIC EVALUATION
. . .
Constants with a leading 0 are interpreted as octal numbers. . . . Otherwise, numbers take the form [base#]n . . .
So - use a
10# prefix to eliminate your problem.
Some asides:
- the closing
fi is missing.
-
yeardir could be assigned outside the
if construct.
-
mv "$file" /tmp/Move\ Lists/$dir/$yeardir/$jx1; could be executed outside as well.
-
"$file" =~ [A-Z] is tested twice - unnecessarily.
-
grep Mod|awk '{print $2}'|cut -b 6,7 could be condensed into one single
awk command.

IGAWK(1) Utility Commands IGAWK(1)
NAME
igawk - gawk with include files
SYNOPSIS
igawk [ all gawk options ] -f program-file [ -- ] file ...
igawk [ all gawk options ] [ -- ] program-text file ...
DESCRIPTION
Igawk is a simple shell script that adds the ability to have ``include files'' to gawk(1).
AWK programs for igawk are the same as for gawk, except that, in addition, you may have lines like
@include getopt.awk
in your program to include the file getopt.awk from either the current directory or one of the other directories in the search path.
OPTIONS
See gawk(1) for a full description of the AWK language and the options that gawk supports.
EXAMPLES
cat << EOF > test.awk
@include getopt.awk
BEGIN {
while (getopt(ARGC, ARGV, "am:q") != -1)
...
}
EOF
igawk -f test.awk
