Tim,

 This was my original idea, however this returns the full pathname - when I
only need actual directory name to be able to form the array of glob
patterns..

If I could figure out how this would return just the children directory
names of ('/root/directory'), this would be the perfect solution.

Thanks again for all your attention, I've already learned so much.

 Brian
