One more question!!!! Regarding the final component to this, I'm attempting to locate the best method to compare and contrast per directory, correct? So the print output would be something like this:

Cur dir: /folder/blahA/blah1; Cur file: file.txt; Num Lines: 8
Cur dir: /folder/blahA/blah2; Cur file: file.txt; Num Lines: 8
Cur dir: /folder/blahA/blah3; Cur file: file.txt; Num Lines: 8
Cur dir: /folder/blahA/blah4; Cur file: file.txt; Num Lines: 8
Cur dir: /folder/blahA/blah5; Cur file: file.txt; Num Lines: 8
Cur dir: /folder/blahA/blah6; Cur file: file.txt; Num Lines: 8

Cur dir: /folder/blahB/blah1; Cur file: file.txt; Num Lines: 10
Cur dir: /folder/blahB/blah2; Cur file: file.txt; Num Lines: 10
Cur dir: /folder/blahB/blah3; Cur file: file.txt; Num Lines: 10
Cur dir: /folder/blahB/blah4; Cur file: file.txt; Num Lines: 12
Cur dir: /folder/blahB/blah5; Cur file: file.txt; Num Lines: 10
Cur dir: /folder/blahB/blah6; Cur file: file.txt; Num Lines: 10

So the offending folder of blahB has one text file that doesn't match up to the rest. How can I detect and alert on that? Basically, I want to set True if all num lines are equal to each other per directory and False if they don't
