Well, I am trying to solve the problem in discussion using "ls", thats why :-)
Even I appreciate your solution, thats a nice one.

Hi Jaduks,

That worked like a miracle.
I was struggling since y'day to change my whole script to do this by passing directory names to the script.

Your solution really made my work very simple.

Thanks a tonne dude. Smilie
