It's fairly simple to exclude directories from your search with File::Find. In your wanted subroutine use something like: if ( -d && ($_ eq 'WORKAREA' || $_ eq 'STAGING' || $_ eq 'EDITION' || $_ eq '.raw') ) { $File::Find::prune = 1; return; } Michael -- Administrator www.shoebox.net Programmer, System Administrator www.gallanttech.com -- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
