One small comment on the accepted answer - you need the dot after the filename in the "mv" command (as I had in my answer #a40003432)
file1.ext1
file1.ext2
file1.ext3
file10.ext
in your input directory, the accepted answer would copy the file10.ext1 file, because it matched "file1*", even though there was only one file with the file10 prefix.
for file in `ls |awk -F"." '{print $1}'|uniq -c | awk '+$1 == 3{print $2}'`
do
mv $file.* targetdir
donefile1.ext1
file1.ext2
file1.ext3
file10.ext
in your input directory, the accepted answer would copy the file10.ext1 file, because it matched "file1*", even though there was only one file with the file10 prefix.
Well picked up Simon.

No problem. Only spotted it because I'd been hit by the same bug recently!

altered your script to
-----
for file in `ls |awk -F"." '{print $1}'|uniq -c | awk '+$1 == 3' | grep -x 3 | awk '{ print $2 }'`
do
mv $file.* ./temp
done
----
no files has moved ..
any idea how to fix this issue
