Thanks for the template. I'll add it to the others and see if I can get something to work.
As for the top vs bottom reply, as you said it is a personal thing.
I prefer the top reply. this allows me to see the answer to the reply in the preview window without having to scroll down the whole message that I had previously read.

Anyway, here are some of the elements you have to work with:
- The "find" command It has an option ("-print0") to print file names with NUL termination instead of the usual newline termination.
- The "xargs" command It has an option ("-0"), a counterpart to find's -print0, that makes it read file names with NUL termination
- The "unix2dos" command This does the basic text file format conversion.
IMHO Not really doable as a single command line, though someone will no doubt prove me wrong :-) ....
Something like....
find <base directory>/* -type d >scandirs while read SCANDIR; do do stuff with $SCANDIR done < scandirs
as a template for a script may work... If you know little about bash scripting it looks like now is the time to learn....
if the directory structure is not too large putting the results of the find command in a variable and feeding the variable to a for loop and or to xargs may work (but xargs does have some limitations).
This is only a pointer to an approach...
BTW Please think before you place your answer, I am personally not particularly religious about the Top Post vs Bottom Post argument... (Strikes me as rather like the big-endian vs little-endian war in Gullivers Travels) but it is a good idea to try an retain something resembling a consistent flow to the history of an argument when replying.....
Probably time to put on the asbestos underwear :-)
