move file to folder X depending 1st lette

I am a total noob with rbotask and was hoping someone
would be able to do this for me...

I would like to have robotask scan a folder c:/movies and
move folders in that file to x:/backups

BUT I would like to move them to different folders in my
backups drive depending on the first letter of the folder

Example:

Folder begins with the letter A or B move to x/backups/A-
B

Folder begins with the letter C or D move to
X:/backups/C-D

and so on all the way to Z

Does anyone feel generous to write this and upload the
finished script. I would be willing to send $20 Paypal
if your interested ;)

Thanks!

Do you want to move files or folders with files and
subfolders?

I would like to move the folder and files in the folder.
it is mostly for my movie backups so.

Move: c:movies/Its a wonderfull life/movie.avi

will move to x:/backups/I-J/Its a wonderfull life/movie.avi


Does that make sense?

Download the example here.
This task works with any folders on different disks too.
If you need to change SOURCE and DESTINATION folders you can make this in steps #1 and #2
