thanks, didn't know about that. Will see what I can do with 
that.

In the meantime I've got to

directory=${directory/_lots_of_stuff/}
echo "director $directory"

 	when I run this with bash -x I get

directory 'Flash\ Player'

(note single quotes)

cd $directory (where directory='Flash\ Player')

doesn't go

but using the mouse I see that

cd Flash\ Player

does work.

(time for a walk)
