I don't think you described files being in a main folder.  Your example 
showed
that they were in eg

   \Basson16L\relnnnnn\
& \Basson16R\relnnnnn\

The existing script, given the path and a sample name like "Basson16" 
finds and
merges files in subfolders of Basson16L and Basson16R.

That's what I expected it to need to do, and what Kevin expected it to 
need to do.
If you wanted it to do something else as well, you'd have needed to 
explain that
more clearly.


But more to the point, if you do have sample files in a main folder as 
well as sub-
folders, it's hard to understand why.  Do they not also correspond to a 
particular
stop?  Even if they don't, and they had to be a separate collection, I'd 
have put
them in a dummy subfolder of their own, eg

   \~mainfilesL\relnnnnn\
& \~mainfilesR\relnnnnn\

simply because that would have kept the file structure the same for all 
of them,
& thus kept the scripts simple.  That "~mainfilesL" has a "~" at the 
start so it
would appear at the start of an alphabetically-sorted list of folders.
