    need help on bash script

    Hi,
    I am new to bash scripting.

    I need to acomplish below objectives.

    Directory X contains some files e.g. "123_HH:MMD:MM:YYYY.pst" etc,

    script should check in directory /a/b whether directory 123 (number before _ in above example) and if yes should move the file after renaming it to /a/b/123/ HH:MMD:MM:YYYY.pst (removing leading numers). If directory does not exist then it should create one and then move files after renaming.

    Your help is appreciated.

    Regards,
    Divakar.
