My thanks. :-)) OK. Changed reject variable to remove "*.CGL" and modified "*.CHK" to simply CHK. Also amended the accept variable to simply CGL - this is not really what I want but I'm willing to try anything to first get a hit before I try to whittle it down further.
Happy to say I'm now getting a hit - well actually tons of them!! as the site contains files with names "*BatchXXXX.CGL" as well as "*BatchXXXXVAT.CGL". It is only the latter files that I want. Any helpful hints? Or am going to have to resort to writing a batch file to sift the data? As always, thanks for your knowlegdable inputs. TeeJay.
