I logged off, but Monday I will.  Thank you.  I am confident in the sed
portion.  The find somedir I cannot get to exclude the subdirs like the
earlier example with the cd somedir && find.  Not sure what is exactly
different between specifying find . and find somedir in that setup but it
was not working.  I either got a recursive list of results or I got just
somedir itself.
