The above fails to ignore for example *.rpmsave, *.rpmorig, *.rpmnew, #*, core(.\d+)?, etc. Maybe "LC_ALL=C grep '.sh$'; do". Also, the order of the snippet loading should be predictable, so LC_ALL or LC_COLLATE should be set to eg. "C" before "ls". > test -x $x && $x Testing that $x is a file (or at least not a directory) would be nice for completeness. > done
