Hmmm, someone that knows what they're talking about ! I missed the
dirname basename bit !
Of course, it should be remembered that doing the whole thing inline will
speed the process - if you make the above "script" into a shell function
and replace basename & dirname with ${var##*/} and ${var%/*} constructs,
it should do the job quicker.
