--- Code: ---for x in `ls -1 /opt/.backgrounds/ | grep -i  "\.\(gif\|png\|bmp\|jpg\|jpeg\)" `
--- End code ---


--- End quote ---

needs a "*" (edit: don't think "-l" is necessary :) )

--- Code: ---for x in `ls  /opt/.backgrounds/* | grep -i  "\.\(gif\|png\|bmp\|jpg\|jpeg\)" `
--- End code ---

I think I should open the regex book I have and start reading it once and for all (: (or twice, or...)

Actually, the * and the -1 (note: it's a one) are not needed.  I usually use -1 by default so I can set IFS, etc if the paths might contain spaces.

It doesn't work without the "*" for me.

Odd - globbing shouldn't be needed.  What kind of setup/environment do you have?
