[CLUE-Tech] Just a little help?

[David Willson]

I got the hard part done.  Or so it seems.  I have written a script that will
replace a 'source' directory's name in all the found directory-names with a
target directory's name.  Now, I want to test each line of output for
directory-ness, and record the source directory that doesn't have a matching target.

Help?  Pretty-please?

Script is quoted below.
