substrings from all files incl subdirs into csv with dir names

Greetings!

I have multiple files, one per subdirectory, all with the same file name. All subdirectories are one level deep from the main directory.

The data in the files is tab delimited between fields and record delimited with a newline.

The subdirectory names have the date in the name, i.e directory xxxx050109.

I would like to get the second and fifth tab delimited fields and directory name for all records from every file in all subdirectories and put them into a single comma delimited file i.e. field1,field2,directoryname.

Thanks,

Victor

NAME
expire -- expire Interchange session files and databases VERSION
1.1 SYNOPSIS
expire [-ra] [-e expr] [-c catalog] [-d dir] [sessiondb] DESCRIPTION
Interchange's "expire" expires the various session database and temporary files used by the Interchange daemon. If the program "tmpwatch" is available, it is called with the appropriate arguments. Otherwise, Interchange will remove all files itself with a recursive routine. OPTIONS
-c name Expires the catalog "name" according to its settings. Removes all temporary files that are in a subdirectory one level below the directory itself. -d dir Sets the directory that will be checked for session files and/or temporary files. -e spec Accepts a Interchange expire time setting like "6 hours", "3 days", etc. The expire time is applied directly to sessions, and may be padded for temporary files.
