Hi, are you sure that this is wget's fault ? Did you enclose the filename in '' like "wget 'http://domain/file[a-z].html'", else it is the bash and not wgets fault. It is under Linux an commen mistake that people think the programm do the expansion. But it is the bash who do it for parameter. Cu thomas
