>From: Gerry Creager n5jxs <address@hidden> >Organization: AATLT, Texas A&M University >Keywords: 200505132137.j4DLbRP3013071 LDM file matching pattern Hi Gerry, re: >Yes, I think so... The 8th pattern in parenthesis should be '(gz)$' not '(gz$)' (i.e., don't include the end of line indicator in the pattern). Then again, you could simply list the 'gz' suffix in the FILE value: FILE WMM5v\1-TAM_\2T\3_\4T\5_\6T\7_gz Also, given your example: WMM5v370-TAM_yyyymmddThhmm_yyy1m1d1Th100_yyy2m2d2Th200_DOMAIN1_Z.bin.gz I think you mean to have: FILE WMM5v\1-TAM_\2T\3_\4T\5_\6T\7.gz or FILE WMM5v\1-TAM_\2T\3_\4T\5_\6T\7.\8 re: >Date: Fri, 13 May 2005 16:43:01 -0500 >From: "Smith, Matt" <address@hidden> >To: "Gerry Creager n5jxs" <address@hidden> >Cc: "Tom Yoksas" <address@hidden> >I don't really care if it's something shorter.

The '$' character is special in regular expressions, it means the end of the string. Cheers, Tom >You're thinking I should not send it as the complete SCOOP filename but >with something shorter?
