move file by year/mouth

Hello experts,

I have a directory which the files inside have different date.
Now I'd like to move them to folder year/mouth (2007/01 , 2007/02)

Have any suggestion?

thanks in advance for reading or anyposts.

for file in `ls -1 *.*`
do
dir="`stat -c "%y|%n" $file | cut -c1-4`/`stat -c "%y|%n" $file | cut -c6-7`"
echo $dir
if [ ! -d $dir ]
then
mkdir -p $dir
fi
cp $file $dir
done
