Actually, that is what I used to create the list of directories first. It is what gave me the long output that I listed earlier. Citlali had provided a regex that almost did what I wanted and then David gave me one that did exactly what I wanted. With everyone's input I was eventually able to get it to do exactly what I was asking. Thanks all.
