Hi Daniel,

Yes, that is exactly what was wrong with this script.  Thanks so much!

        }
}
====================================
But for some reason, the IF statement did not work.  In the filename.txt
file, I am getting something like this:
--As for the rest, it is mine.

I think you want:
if ($wanted_filename eq $filename)
That'll do a lexographic check instead of a numeric, which is what I think 
you want.
