Thanks for the training. I appreciate people pointing out my errors, that's how I learn too. I'll blame GMAIL for the mish-mash. I don't have as good a control of it as I would like (sorry). I'm always forgetting about people who put LFs in a file name. That is just so weird, to me. I should remember about the damnable blanks in a file name. They are a PITA to me all the time (I hold MS responsible for this abomination taking hold).

​ The need for "./[0-9]*'​ was in a subsequent posting by Krem that the subdirectory names must begin with a digit. Especially thanks for the fix on the "find" with the need to surround the file name extension tests in parentheses. And I do have a tendency, due to ignorance, of putting in unnecessary escapes and using egrep instead of plain grep even if I'm just doing a BRE instead of an ERE.

No, it's not.

In addition to whatever quoting bugs may still exist, now you're involving
xargs, which has ITS OWN ENTIRELY NEW set of bugs, and breaks on any
filename that contains whitespace, single quotes, or double quotes.
