I need to know if there is a way to create new folders based on current folder names, then copy those folders into them. So I'd start out with a list of folders:

123-555558
123-485604
1-4284750
1-334
22-56
22-48573

basically <word/number>-<other stuff>. I'd want to end up with, in the above example, folders named:
123
1
22
and the corresponding folders inside of them. Can anyone help?

If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.
