Thank you guys for your quick responses and proposed solutions.

I will have a look at each one and try them out.

---------- Post updated at 04:14 PM ---------- Previous update was at 10:37 AM ----------

Hi Guys.

I finally had a chance to test out the 3 proposed solutions and here are some results:

ygemici - maxdepth option does not work in my environment
aigles - script does not work when a full path is provided. My table will contain the full paths of the directories that I would like to cleanup. How can the script be modified to accept full path directories?
agama - How do I go about embedding your code into a script?
Copied entire code just prior to the last pipe into a new script member test.sh - how to execute the script to read my table pchang.dat?

Thank you very much for all your feedback/help.

NAME
ipescript - Run an Ipe script (written in Lua) SYNOPSIS
ipescript script { arguments } DESCRIPTION
ipescript runs an Ipe script written in Lua. The Ipe bindings are automatically available in the script. Ipescript looks for the script in any of the script directories. The script argument should not contain the .lua extension. ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
ipescript respects the following environment variables: IPELATEXDIR the directory where ipetoipe runs Pdflatex. IPESCRIPTS a list of directories where Ipescript will look for scripts. When this variable is not set, Ipe searches first the current directory, then ~/.ipe/scripts, and finally the system-wide Ipe script directory. When this variable is set, it should contain a list of directories, separated by semicolons. A single under- score is replaced by the system-wide Ipe script directory. IPEDEBUG set this to 1 for debugging output from ipescript. AUTHOR
Otfried Cheong REPORTING BUGS
Please report bugs using Ipe bugzilla at http://ipe7.sourceforge.net/bugzilla.html SEE ALSO
Ipe is documented fully in The Ipe Manual, which is available online at http://ipe7.sourceforge.net/manual/manual.html . August 28, 2011 IPESCRIPT(1)
