Glad it's working now. Just an additional remark to your use case: if you want to exclude multiple folders, say 'Y = OK' and 'H = OK' then you could do it like 'Y = OK|H = OK' or you can put it as '[YH] = OK'. The square bracket part means 'a single character Y or H'. The site https://regex101.com mentioned above is great for trying and learning these things. There's a section with a Quick Reference on that site. For example, add this to the regular expression input field: Code: -------------------- [HY] = OK|MP3 -------------------- and this as the test string: Code: -------------------- abcY = OKdefMP3xyzH = OK123 -------------------- Then there's a detailed explanation provided how this regular expression works. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ reinholdk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36070 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112642 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
