copy old files into respective directory

Hi

My OS is solaris 64 bit 10, I have many files in a logs directory where we recive 40-50 logs every day. i have last 20 days file present in this directory. I want to move each day file to a particulaar directory whose name is appended with the date of file.

eg

Code:
1.txt  file date 31-jul-2012
2.txt  file date 31-jul-2012
3.txt  file date 01-Aug-2012

then create a directory for old files of 31-jul RIO_31-Jul-2012 and move them and like wise for 01-aug files.

I have written a scripts which is running fine for current date but i don't know how t modify it to accomdate old date.

---------- Post updated at 10:55 AM ---------- Previous update was at 10:54 AM ----------

My scripts is as below

Code:
NEWDIR=RIO_31-Jul-2012
 mkdir /ersdg3/ERS/ERS_INPUT_LOGS/RIO/LOGS/$NEWDIR
 cd /var/opt/ers/logs/rio
 touch -t `date +%Y%m%d0000` dummy
 find . -newer dummy -type f  |
 while read fname
 do
     mv $fname /ersdg3/ERS/ERS_INPUT_LOGS/RIO/LOGS/$NEWDIR
 done

Thanks
