And boz, for that little comment on results vs maintainability may you be sentenced to a week of digging through disorganized, uncommented code trying to find a bug (I made the sentence relatively short because I like you).

OS, I've totally served my time, including having to wade through ~50,000 lines of C produced by a de-compiler because my new boss accidentally wiped his source tree and all three of his backups were corrupted. (Needless to say, he told me of this little task AFTER I'd accepted the job. Needless to say, part deux, he wasn't a very good coder to begin with.)

Also, you're all a bunch of nits. Who gives a crap about code maintainability for a script written by an end-user that, as you correctly point out, could easily be replaced with a "find" command (and would be, by the first person besides the writer to look at it)? Buzz was just writing something to try to learn to write something, stop crapping all over him.
