Is the star a typo? I can't see any reason for it otherwise. I don't quite understand want you want to do. The program runs and gives a report, what else do you want it to do?

[lancebermudez]

the star is not a typo. I found out that if i don't use the star i will not have a list of the good/bad files and their location that were scanned. other wise i just her a read out that say how many are good/bad without the file name and location. this also works but you do not see the read out in the command line while it is running like you do with the star.
