Yeah right!).

Maybe there's a way to do that using Linux or >UNIX. Maybe not of general interest, but here's the UNIX way: ls -1 [directory] | egrep -v '\.filetype' e.g. "ls -1 | egrep -v '\.fm'" lists all non-"*.fm" files. UNIX isn't easy, but quite powerful... a GUI isn't always the best solution. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Thomas Michanek, [Michagon], Linkoping, Sweden Documentation Consultant, FrameMaker/UNIX expert EMAIL: mailto:Thomas.Michanek@telia.com WWW: http://go.to/framers , or go directly to: http://w1.133.telia.com/~u13304072/framers - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Subscribe to Omni System's "Free Framers" list: send an email to majordomo@omsys.com with "subscribe framers" in the body ** To unsubscribe, send a message to majordomo@omsys.com ** ** with "unsubscribe framers" (no quotes) in the body. **
