Thank Jim I got that to work. Very cool.

However, in your example you are using the find command w/a file names (dummy1/dummy2) and date values that are known. In my problem directory I won't know the file names to use for the comparison. The application that creates the files, which contains a bug hence the reason for this script, uses assending # order for the file names. It can create anywhere from 1 to 1000+ files per day.
EX file names:
4120.wuerr dated 05/27/09
4121.wuerr dated 05/28/09
4122.wuerr dated 05/28/09

My brain isn't smart enough today to figure out how to use your very cool find command in this scenario. Any thoughts on this? Hopefully my question made sense.

Thanks, Leslie
