Thanks so much for your help. I reviewed the script I posted and found that the script will not work in ksh but works fine in bash.

Your script looks like it will do exactly what I need also. I'll give it a shot. Thanks again.

It would be cool do analyze the full file name for the word "FLAG" just in case it's not the last part of the file name.

Easy enough.

Code:

#! /bin/bash

filename=my.test.file.flag
if [[ "$filename" =~ "flag" ]]; then
	printf '%s\n' "Matched flag"
fi
