I left out $ on the TEST_DIR variable call.
Needed to add a trailing / to all the grep tests to make sure a partial
match didn't happen.

The following really works, tested and everything. I changed -p to -n
and $PATTERN to $NAME in this version. 

Robert Woodcock's sed and egrep solution is pretty cool. 

Thank you
