Robert: The code is fine, it's the collating sequence that's getting in the way. If, like me, you have filenames starting with special characters ($ _ #) etc. they mess things up.
The locate search finds the 1st >= match (In Name+ order)
Now perhaps the search could skip leading special characters, but then that would effectively mean the list is no longer sorted properly, and a >= search is faulty.
Another option is to make the search only for =, but that then means you can have a not-found condition.
'tis a conundrum.
