No problems!
I often get frustrated about the shortcomings of "DOS". When I have a complicated script problem it often results in tweaks and workarounds and temporary files, fooling the shell with any number of %%% and """" (where nobody actually knows why it works, it just does, sometimes... also depending if it's in a bat/cmd-file or on an interactive command line) using dozens of programs, that so easily could have been solved with bash alone, possibly with a helper such as sort/grep/find/cut or whatever.
Good Luck!

PS Have a look at the "FOR /R" construct. "http://ss64.com/nt/for_r.html" Can that help?

faxq-helper
faxq-helper(1) mgetty+sendfax manual faxq-helper(1)
NAME
faxq-helper - privileged helper process to access the fax queue
SYNOPSIS
faxq-helper <command> [<options>]
DESCRIPTION
faxq-helper is part of the internal workings of faxspool(1).
Formerly, the /var/spool/fax/outgoing directory was world-writeable, leading to all sort of funny symlink attacks against faxspool(1) and
faxrunq(8).
These days, it's owned by the user ``fax'', and only this user can write to it. To be able to put jobs there, faxspool(1) calls faxq-
helper for very clearly defined purposes:
- make a new queue directory
- put a new fax G3 file into this queue directory
- put a JOB file into this queue directory, and activate the fax job
and possibly:
- remove a fax job from the queue (to be used by faxrm and in case of errors)
- re-queue a job that has been suspended due to repeated failures (faxq -r)
To achieve this, faxq-helper is installed set-user-id fax. If you remove the suid bit, or chown the fax queue directory to a different
user, it will stop working.
RETURN VALUES
faxq-helper has the following exit() values:
0 everything went fine
1 invalid JOB ID specified on the command line
2 some problem with the directory setup of the outgoing queue dir, /var/spool/fax/outgoing (it will print a detailed error message)
3 some problems with the user ID setup of the ``fax'' user (it will print a detailed error message)
10 failure to process the specified command (it will print a detailed error message)
