Will do, thanks. By the way, I've been googling bash tutorials, but
none of them really explore interacting with file names. And lots of
the 'tutorials' are really just blogs looking for adsense revenue.
Does anybody have any good bash resources bookmarked that they'd like
to share? Specifically, interacting with files through bash. I see
that I've asked quite a few questions on the subject in the past.

Thanks.
