Hi all,

the latest solution proposed by radoulov seems to work wonderfully, if my files are pure text files, but it appears that they are not pure text file.

There appears to be control characters within the file that is throwing off the grep statement, causing no file names to be returned.

Can anybody me with this.

thanks
melvyn
