Have you tried:

/2008_0830_??????/ 

?

That's how you would do it at the command line in windows anyway.

Subject: Wildcard characters in filepath?

How can I use wildcard characters in a file path?

Is it possible?

I have a data vendor that makes data available for download
using file paths that use as part of the path, .../2008_0830_103028/....

In other words the paths are auto-generated and include the
year, date, hour/minute/second, in the file path.

I want to just specify the year and date in the path
and use .../2008_0830_xxxxxx/... so I can automate the
data processing.

I could use "contains", I guess, but I'd rather specify
the path using variable characters.

How can I do this?

Rick
