Thanks Michael! I appreciate your response.
Can you possibly tell me what you mean with the "next unless" statement? It
seems to say go to the next upload object, i.e., the next file, unless this
one is numbered? But most of them will be numbered, so it won't go... to the
next one?
I am a straight-up amateur as you can probably tell from what I posted--do
you know of any resources where I can learn about how to do these nested
loops?
