Hi Mike,
The filter works great!
I thank you and come Monday, I hope the Little Old Lady will thank you too.

Well if you just have to have it your way.... ;-)
You will have to create the filter string dynamically like the following;
SET VAR vfilter = 'PDF Files (*.pdf)#'
{Set your filename pattern match here}
SET VAR vpdfspec = '0??82008.pdf'
{add it to the filter string here}
SET VAR vfilter = (.vfilter + .vpdfspec)
PLUGINS loadfilename.rbl vfilename|fullpath on|filter &vfilter
RETURN

Hi Mike,
I was trying to make it easy for the user to see only the files scanned
on a given day.
What you are saying is that now I have to teach them how to enter
01082008????.pdf
I can just see the look on her face now!
Isn't there a way to limit the files that come up initally?
Bernie

Bernie,
In the filename edit box, you can put any legal wildcards to filter
what you want.
eg: 0??012008.pdf would bring up:
011012008.pdf
003012008.pdf
010012008.pdf
006012008.pdf
00101200?.pdf would bring up:
001012001.pdf
001012002.pdf
001012003.pdf
*12008.pdf would bring up:
002012008.pdf
002112008.pdf
003312008.pdf
and so on. The file Filters is just for extensions, anything other
than that, you must enter as suggested.

Is there a way to filter the file names such as:
07012008*.pdf
so that only the files from that date will show up?
So far only *.pdf works but brings up too many files requiring the
operator to work a little harder (poor operator) but the customer is
always right, right?
