Need help with moving file ranges

[loki126]

I know this may be the wrong forum to post this in, but I really have no idea where else to post. I have a huge project which is quite simple to complete but will be extremely time-consuming. I have over 800,000 files and all files are named in numeric order. I have a list of over 1,000 ranges and I need to place the files corresponding to each range into its own folder which is named the beginning range. To better illustrate:

I have the Ranges-
000001-000009
000010-000013
000014-000015
etc...

Let's take the first range, 000001-000009. I have to create a folder and name the folder "000001". Then I need to place the files from 000001 through 000009 into the folder.

Again, I have over 1,000 of these ranges to do. I was wondering if there is any software or anything out there that completes this project for me?

Thank you VERY much for your help

I've had to make some assumptions:

1) your directory can't be in the current directory where your files are.

2) Your ranges are in the file called range.file and I'm assuming no errors in the ranges:

#!/bin/ksh

d=/tmp
typeset -Z6 z1 # right justify, zero fill 6 characters

while IFS="-" read c1 c2
do
   mydir=$d/$c1 # create initial directory, mydir
   mkdir -p $mydir

   # loop thru the range copying each file
   # if it exists
   while (( $c1 <= $c2 ))
   do
      z1=$c1 # zero fill regaining the full filename
      if [[ -n $(ls $z1 2>- ) ]]
      then
         cp "$z1" $mydir
      fi
      ((c1+=1))
   done

done < range.file
