Hey Mark - thanks for your reply and the details ... I saw fnmatch did *not* match case (which was great) ... but it also couldn't match any item from another list of items ... had to do a single PATTERN at a time ... that's why it was suggested I try to use the ext matching from os.path.splitext() ... and why I needed to drop it to lowercase. It seems like that is the easiest way to search for a match among a list of file systems ... Thanks!
