The good Dr Blinn to the rescue yet again.
Tom (as did all the others who kindly responded to my
query) pointed out that the shell handles * expansion.
He than also went on to offer a method whereby we could do this:
tar cf $tape -C /dir1 `cd /dir1; ls file1*` -C /dir2 `cd /dir2; ls file2*` ...
Cheers,
T.
