You have Windows there, don't you? The "for" command has like five pages of 
options.  for /?

Probably easier to take the result from UNIX and format it to what Windows 
creates. That sort of stuff is how UNIX works.

The basic difference between UNIX scripting and Windows scripting is that 
UNIX scripting is defined on file formats while the Windows scripting is 
defined over APIs.  Personally, I think APIs are the way to go, but file 
formats allow for easier quick-and-dirty stuff compared to future proofing 
and portability.
