(just a SWAG), but I think what he meant to say ... He wants to pass a filespec containing wildcards (?filename=Sep??2002.*) (or some similar string)
But it gets rid of the ? and the *. Phillip, if this is close, Those characters really aren't "web url" friendly. Sure, you can pass them (and even catch them), but you really should convert them to URL safe encoding. For example, rather than pass a "space" character (chr(32)), you should pass a %20 instead. This is pretty easy using the Cold Fusion BIF (Built in Function) URLEncodedFormat() Then on the catch page, you can use the URLDecode() to get the characters back into usable form.
