Ah, so with the help from you two I finally getting somewhere :-) :-) Wouldn't say that I've control in anyway though but at least now understand better. One thing I learned is that actually these "two options" I'm dabbling about seemingly are the same thing! I followed your example and just put Y = OK in the server.prefs file and then Y = OK showed up in the textbox of the plugin in the LMS GUI! But now before another question I've I need to ask something to avoid further confusion, from bpa's post and also from yours; does ' ' (Apostrophe or single quote) or " " (Quote, quotation mark ) actually mean something when put in front and end of a line refering to regular expressions? Reason I ask is I thought it's just something one do with the meaning "this text here between the quotes is just an example" when writing in text trying to explain something? I myself have always used the " " characters like that but noticed the ' ' and of course I know the characters are not the same but actually thinking that some people use ' ' others (like me) use " " ...(hope you understand what I'm trying to ask? sorry my native lanuage is not english) And then my real question, so ok now I understand better but what character or what would one need to do if having say some folders with WAV in folder name and MP3 in some other folders name and wanting the scanner _to_miss_both_. .Eg, _not_scan_any_folder_ with _WAV_ or _MP3__in folder name? ( As the best I could come up with I tried Y = OK + MP3 but naturally that didn't cut it :-/) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ doggod's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=46431 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112642 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
