------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the quick response Mauro! I am surprised at the response though because from the wget.html doc I read the following: [Quote] accept = acclist The argument to --accept option is a list of file suffixes or patterns that Wget will download during recursive retrieval. A suffix is the ending part of a file, and consists of "normal" letters, e.g. gif or .jpg. A matching pattern contains shell-like wildcards, e.g. books* or zelazny*196[0-9]*. So, specifying wget -A gif,jpg will make Wget download only the files ending with gif or jpg, i.e. GIFs and JPEGs. On the other hand, wget -A "zelazny*196 [0-9]*" will download only files beginning with zelazny and containing numbers from 1960 to 1969 anywhere within. Look up the manual of your shell for a description of how pattern matching works. Of course, any number of suffixes and patterns can be combined into a comma- separated list, and given as an argument to -A. [EndQuote] Has this ability to specify patterns changed? Is there any way else I can specify the types of files I want i.e. only those with file names after the "accepted" pattern? BTW I forgot to mention that I'm using Wget Ver 1.10.2 Thanks in advance.
