What is that Red stuff?
Your scripts are not complete so it is difficult to understand your issue (do you have one?)
If there is an issue please submit between code tags the output...
Otherwise if you are just willing to add new functions to your script try to be more clear
Is it adding a new argument to your search? (find ...) in which case look at the man pages of find how to add options ( you will need I suppose -name "*.txt " ), or was it something else?

Reason: typos
I wonder if its not a rewriting of conf file and script:
If you give a file pattern to look for, then it will impact the source directory which is of no use anymore since the files will be:
And so your can rethink your find command...

Let's make sure when we "guide" you, YOU understand the 'guidance'.
In your config file, change this:
Before proceeding to the next change, please explain WHY this change is needed.
Note: I'd ask all 'good Samaritans' to wait for the OP's explanation before proceeding further!

Hi vgersh,

There's nothing to be sorry about - all you need to think/know is how your script is implemented and why. Doing so will make you more knowledgeable and efficient solving your own issues.
Please think of how your 'main' script "sources" your config files - this should be enough of a hint for you.
Spend some time and effort on that first...
We're willing to help only the willing ones.
Good luck!
