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?
