Hi Tom,
"gz.bak" certainly contains the patter "*.gz", so you shouldn't be too
surprised that it qualifies for find.
I have to run, but one quick and dirty way to accomplish what you're trying
to do would be to say:
bak-pattern: "*.gz.bak"
pattern: "*.gz"
if all [
find/match/any file pattern
not found? find/match/any file bak-pattern
]
[
do whatever it is you must do ...
