I dunno. Never was able to get the hang of regular expressions. I've been trying to for over twenty years of programming and still haven't. I officially gave up a year or two ago. Besides, I'm a manager now and don't have to actually think anymore. :P > > > I personally euthanized the darn dog on all my machines and use a > > logical folder structure to find things. > > Well, that's great, if you can get away with it, but my library has > thousands of files and no single hierarchical organizational scheme is > adequate.

I can't really describe how I do it, because it only makes sense to me, but I just did a count with KDirstat. According to that I have 83,662 files in my /home/kai folder on my laptop and 72,361 on my main desktop. Now, that includes those .hidden folders, so the actual number of files I need to take care of should be less, but I'm sure not TOO much less. > > > My machines work way faster. > > Faster than what? Faster than a machine running with BeagleD slowing it down. :) -- kai - [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.perfectreign.com || www.4thedadz.com www.filesite.org || www.donutmonster.com friends don't let friends use windows -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
