I am still trying to figure out a way to seperate files by year and place them in individual archive folders.

The weird thing is the "ls *_2008* works in other directories on the server, just doesn't work in this directory. Is there a possibility that there are so many files in this particular directory it is exceeding the buffer when trying to parse the ls command?

Anyone have any other suggestions on how to split up these files by year?

Thanks!

Jeff
