Help with script to move files.

[The Swordsman]

I have an asterisk server setup for a call center and all the calls are recorded as a .wav file. The extension. The number called. The date. and the time. wav files are huge and im going to compress them to mp3 using lame. I have a script to do that. But I also want to move the file after it is compressed into its own folder according to the year, month, and day.

150_9xxxxxxxx1527_20071119-083522.wav compress to
150_9xxxxxxxx1527_20071119-083522.mp3

This is my script so far but im rather a newbie at bash scripting so I haven't gotten it quite right. I cant get the year, month and day to "cut" and make directories based on that string. And the check to see if the file type exists doesn't work quite right either. I get a too many parameters error.

Could someone help please.
Thanks.

# Title: Wav2mp3
# Discription: This script will convert the wav file to mp3 and move it based # on the filename date.
# Purpose: To be used to move the recorded calls on asterisk spool directory # to a sturctured system based on date.

# variables
PATH_NAME=/u03/asterisk/monitor/spool
date=00000000
year=0000
month=00

# convert every wav file in the current directory to an MP3 File
# and remove the old wav file.


#check if file type .wav exists and compress the file.
if [ -e *.wav ]
then
for wavfile in *.wav
do
lame -h -b 24 "$wavfile" "${wavefile%.wav}.mp3"
rm ${wavfile}

check if file type .mp3 exists
if [ -e *.mp3 ]
then
for mp3file in *.mp3
do

#Everthing up to and including first "_" stripped out
temp1=${mp3file#*_*}

#Everthing up to and including second "_" stripped out
temp2=${temp1#*_*}

#Everything from the last "-" stripped out. Leaving only the date.
date=${temp2:%*-*}

#Get the year
year=$($date | cut -c 1-4)

#Get the month

#Get the day
day=$($date | cut -c 7-


cd ${PATH_NAME}


# if the year directory doesn't exist then create it.
if [ -d $year ];then
cd ${year}

mkdir ${year}
cd ${year}

# if the month directory inside the year doesn't exist then create it.
if [ -d $month ]; then

cd ${month}

#if the day directory inside the year & month doesn't exist then create it.
if [ -d $day ]; then
cd ${day}
else
mkdir ${day}
cd ${day}
fi


# move back to the spool directory
cd ${PATH_NAME}

# move the mp3 file into the newly created directory structure.
mv -f ${mp3file} ${PATH_NAME}+${year}+${month}

done

This should do it:

#!/bin/sh
PATH_NAME="/u03/asterisk/monitor/spool"

for wavfile in *.wav: do
    date=$(echo ${wavfile##*_} |  awk -F'-' '{print $1}')
    newdir=$(echo "$PATH_NAME/${date:0:4}/${date:5:2}/${date:6}")
    mkdir -p $newdir
    lame -h -b 24 "$wavfile" "$newdir/${wavefile%.wav}.mp3"
    rm -f "$wavfile"
done

Or with sed:

day=$(echo mp3file|sed 's/.*\(..\)-.*/\1/')

month=$(echo mp3file|sed 's/.*\(..\)..-.*/\1/')

year=$(echo mp3file|sed 's/.*_\(....\).*/\1/')
