I thought about it, but I get the pattern constraint error Error 4 The Directory/@Name attribute's value, '..\..\[DIR]', is not a valid long name because it contains illegal characters. Legal long names contain no more than 260 characters and must contain at least one non-period character. Any character except for the follow may be used: \ ? | > < : / * ".
Any ideas?
