Thanks for the clean, well formatted, easy to read request!


Here's a fragment with gnu awk, which may help you....

My directory structure:

Code:
cd $basedir
tree -n
.
├── 1.Amber
│   ├── seed-1.txt
│   ├── seed-2.txt
│   └── seed-3.txt
├── 2.Chris
│   ├── seed-1.ppt
│   └── seed-2.ppt
└── 3.Dragon
    ├── seed-1.tgz
    ├── seed-2.tgz
    └── seed-3.tgz

Code that gets you the directory and the filename into variables:

Code:
while read directory file ; do
   echo "$directory" "$file"
done < <(find | gawk 'match($0,/\/([^\/]+)\/(seed-.*)/,matches){print matches[1],matches[2]}')


# output


2.Chris seed-2.ppt
2.Chris seed-1.ppt
1.Amber seed-2.txt
1.Amber seed-3.txt
1.Amber seed-1.txt
3.Dragon seed-1.tgz
3.Dragon seed-3.tgz
3.Dragon seed-2.tgz

otp

otp(n)							RFC 2289 A One-Time Password System						    otp(n)

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

NAME

       otp - One-Time Passwords

SYNOPSIS

       package require Tcl  8.2

       package require otp  ?1.0.0?

       ::otp::otp-md4 ?-hex? ?-words? -seed seed -count count data

       ::otp::otp-md5 ?-hex? ?-words? -seed seed -count count data

       ::otp::otp-sha1 ?-hex? ?-words? -seed seed -count count data

       ::otp::otp-rmd160 ?-hex? ?-words? -seed seed -count count data

_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       This  package  is  an  implementation  in Tcl of the One-Time Password system as described in RFC 2289 (1). This system uses message-digest
       algorithms to sequentially hash a passphrase to create single-use passwords. The resulting data is then provided  to  the  user	as  either
       hexadecimal  digits  or encoded using a dictionary of 2048 words. This system is used by OpenBSD for secure login and can be used as a SASL
       mechanism for authenticating users.

       In this implementation we provide support for four algorithms that are included in the tcllib distribution: MD5 (2),  MD4  (3),	RIPE-MD160
       (4) and SHA-1 (5).

COMMANDS

       ::otp::otp-md4 ?-hex? ?-words? -seed seed -count count data

       ::otp::otp-md5 ?-hex? ?-words? -seed seed -count count data

       ::otp::otp-sha1 ?-hex? ?-words? -seed seed -count count data

       ::otp::otp-rmd160 ?-hex? ?-words? -seed seed -count count data

EXAMPLES

       % otp::otp-md5 -count 99 -seed host67821 "My Secret Pass Phrase"
       (binary gibberish)
       % otp::otp-md5 -words -count 99 -seed host67821 "My Secret Pass Phrase"
       SOON ARAB BURG LIMB FILE WAD
       % otp::otp-md5 -hex -count 99 -seed host67821 "My Secret Pass Phrase"
