Thanks Hal,

my script starts with "for i in *jpg" and then works each file 
individually.  So I tried that line without the pipe to 
whatever_script.sh, hoping for a list of files to be output to the 
terminal.  That seemed to output the string of tags but without the 
double quotes around the image names.  Is that what it should have done?

Thanks
