need to copy the obtained output files inside corresponding folders LINUX

Hi everyone!
I have encountered a problem:
I have "while" loop; at each run a set of outputs is produced but then I need to shift them into a corresponding folder ; otherwise next run the new outputs will be over-written. Furthermore, I need to pipe what I have on the screen inside a file.
I have put my code in the following:

Code:

# !/bin/bash
jf="GeoQuery.jar"
fmt="event geo:"
while read -r ID
do
echo $ID //read the event number from a text file to produce output//
java -jar $jf -$fmt$ID // java client give back the output based on the ID. now I need to create a folder using $ID and put the output there ????? [NEED HELP WITH IT]
done < <(paste cupid.txt)

your help is much appreciated.

What is the 'set of outputs'? File(s), text to standard output &/or standard error device, other, combinations of these?
Files of specific names can be moved or copied to other filenames in other directories. Standard IO can be captured to speified files. Other things probably require more work; you need to specify.

I rephrased my problem : I hope it helps :

I have a "while" loop ;
1. I need to create a folder at each run ( folder with different names)

Code:

mkdir $i // i can be a counter to have different name each time ?!!! not sure

2.I should then move all the files of type ".SEED" to the created folder. (copy > paste & delete from the current directory)

Code:

rm *.SEED  //need help I do not know how to transfer the files

Code:

mv ./*.SEED $i
