"Instead having 9,999 functions which do the same thing with slightly different values, just have your function take parameters."
- Well it's a good point and i would do that If I only wanted to do this action on only 1 particular kind of file but having "9.999 functions" allows me to run them all at once. If i don't want to use one I simply comment it. If I have to modify the subdirectory ($VAR) I simply edit the function.
Good point for the $PATH tho hum.. *hides
switched it to $DIR.
"That code couldn't possibly work. '$FILENAME' in single quotes won't expand. 'FILENAME*' won't expand properly either."
- Indeed it's under double quotes in my script, wrote it back while writing this post, editing previous post..
"Why do you have -type d in one and not in the other?"
- To find my "$FILENAME*" directory and delete it. The name of the directory is basicly the same as the filename. It's set in each function.

INFO(1) User Commands INFO(1)
NAME
info - read Info documents
SYNOPSIS
info [OPTION]... [MENU-ITEM...]
DESCRIPTION
Read documentation in Info format.
OPTIONS
--apropos=STRING
look up STRING in all indices of all manuals.
-d, --directory=DIR
add DIR to INFOPATH.
--dribble=FILENAME
remember user keystrokes in FILENAME.
-f, --file=FILENAME
specify Info file to visit.
-h, --help
display this help and exit.
--index-search=STRING
go to node pointed by index entry STRING.
-n, --node=NODENAME
specify nodes in first visited Info file.
-o, --output=FILENAME
output selected nodes to FILENAME.
-R, --raw-escapes

--restore=FILENAME

--subnodes
recursively output menu items.
--vi-keys

--version

The first non-option argument, if present, is the menu entry to start from; it is searched for in all `dir' files along INFOPATH. If it is
not present, info merges all `dir' files and shows the result. Any remaining arguments are treated as the names of menu items relative to
the initial node visited.
EXAMPLES
info show top-level dir menu
info emacs
start at emacs node from top-level dir
info emacs buffers
start at buffers node within emacs manual
info --show-options emacs
start at node with emacs' command line options
