Thank you so much!
That is exactly what I was trying to hammer together for several days!
I have two follow-ups: I want this to recursively go to subdirectories also - I experimented with your script a bit adding -R to the initial ls command but the results were not encouraging - would it be better to have another sh script that goes through the directory tree and calls this one at each directory?
Also the directories I'm dealing with have many dir names with spaces in them and this script is running the ls on just the part of the dir name before the space - again I did try some things and I'm guessing that the change needed is in this bit but I can't quite grasp it:
ls -l | grep "^d" | awk '{print $9}' | grep -v "^\." >P_WORK_DIR
this is getting all dir names and the awk is printing what? then that last grep is removing the "\." from the name?
