[ale] Stumped-

[Lightner, Jeff]

Part of the issue may be the asynchronous way replies hit the list.

By the time one's post hits the list its contents may have been obviated by other posts that weren't there at the time it was submitted.  The OP wasn't clear in whether he was looking for differences between multiple clients or just within the subdirectories of each client so some of the posts addressed what they thought he was asking.

The OP clarified what he was asking and what I wrote would do what he asked  based on my testing.  I haven't tested the other solutions so they may be better or worse than mine.

The multiple clients thing is extraneous info and I wish we could all
forget it. It's like describing what you had for breakfast in the
middle of your task explanation. They would eat you up for this line
of questioning on irc://irc.freenode.net/#bash (which is a GREAT
resource!) I think this explains it pretty well:

of the problem/question will be misleading.
