| Yup, I think Wayne's right to suggest shell scripting. Personally, I'd have done it slightly differently though;
set theSourceFolder to POSIX path of (choose folder) set theResult to every paragraph of (do shell script "egrep -l 'I325010[a-z]' " & (theSourceFolder & "*"))
repeat with theFile in theResult --whatever you want to do with your files... end repeat ...note that you'll end up with a list of posix paths, not aliases.
Hope that's of some help!
