Hello monks!
Another interesting query:
I have filenames in the format

862003_PRODUCT1_HOST1_NAME1_NAME2.txt
862003_PRODUCT1_HOST1_NAME1_NAME3.txt
862003_PRODUCT1_HOST1_NAME4.txt
862003_PRODUCT1_HOST1_SUMMARY.html

862003_PRODUCT1_HOST2_NAME1_NAME2.txt
862003_PRODUCT1_HOST2_NAME1_NAME3.txt
862003_PRODUCT1_HOST2_NAME4.txt
862003_PRODUCT1_HOST2_SUMMARY.html
[download]

in a directory. The html file has three links which point to the three text files.
What I want is to create a folder with the date (862003),
under which to create another folder called PRODUCT1,
and then put the files HOST1_NAME1_NAME2.txt, HOST1_NAME4.txt and HOST1_SUMMARY.html
Im OK with the creation of the links in the html to point to the respective text files. Im confused with the creation of the directories! This is supposed to be done both in UNIX as well as WINDOWS.
Thanks

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":

Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
