Dear Simplify/Darren,
It is my pleasure to try to help. It is far more rewarding than the day job (although unpaid) and helps me to learn from others who may make other suggestions or correct me.
Can you show us your attempts so far? It will help us to steer you so (hopefully) you will understand the evolved solution and be able to support it going forward.
I would probably write this in ksh/bash like shells, using the find command and variable substitution, but it depends what you know as to where we start making suggestions. There are, of course, many ways to do this.
