I got some files in directory as below:

000001.OrderID.html 000002.OrderID.cgi 000003.OrderID.pl 000004.OrderID.js 000005.OrderID.txt 000006.OrderID.cgi 000007.OrderID.minus.html OrderID.master

Based on some condition certain files are copied into other directory.

(000003.OrderID.pl & 000007.OrderID.minus.html are not copied)

000001.OrderID.html 000002.OrderID.cgi 000004.OrderID.js 000005.OrderID.txt 000006.OrderID.cgi OrderID.master

What I need is to correct the sequence number of files after they are copied into other directory

000001.OrderID.html ** remain as is 000001.OrderID.html - Should be +ignored for renaming 000002.OrderID.cgi ** remain as is 000002.OrderID.cgi - Should be +ignored for renaming 000004.OrderID.js => 000004.OrderID.js Rename to => 000003.OrderI +D.js 000005.OrderID.txt => 000005.OrderID.txt Rename to => 000004.OrderI +D.txt 000006.OrderID.cgi => 000006.OrderID.cgi Rename to => 000005.OrderI +D.cgi OrderID.master ** OrderID.master Should be ignored for renamin +g

Apparently I am stuck here. Please help.
