We usually use [ListFiles] to populate a temporary database with filenames, then copy and delete each one based on a search thru that same temporary database. Since the filenames are in a database, you can go wild with 'wildcards' using the built-in search capabilities on that database.Technical Support | ==== eCommerce and Beyond ==== Pacific Coast Software | WebCatalog, WebMerchant, 11770 Bernardo Plaza Court | SiteEdit Pro, PhotoMaster, San Diego, CA 92128 | Typhoon 619/675-1106 Fax: 619/675-0372 | http://www.smithmicro.com/ Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
