Hi cfajohnson,

- I appreciate the response. Could you please expand on your statement that shopt -s nullglob is not standard? What do you mean exactly?

- Also, is the purpose of the code that you have written inside the for loop to eliminate the error message that occurs when one of the patterns is not matched?

Thanks for your help!

Mike
