Thanks for the quick reply, Porter, but it didn't work. First I ran it as is and got nothing, then I modified it as such:

Code:

for d in AWL.????????.IP 
do
     echo $d
     if test -d $d
     then
           echo $d exists
     fi
done

And what printed to the screen was

Code:

AWL.????????.IP

This is a ksh on a windows server using MKS Toolkit.
