for each and file system task
i have a directory where you have numerous files i would only like to move certain files which have a pattern. for example, lets say i have some files like this 1234_dba_guru.zip 2341_dba_mentor.zip 9182_dba_student.zip 124_developer_guru.zip 231_developer_nothing_zip etc if you see here, there is a certain pattern for the first 3 files how should i let know to the for each loop about that pattern should i write *._dba_.* or somethhing else? Eagerly waiting for your replies :)Thanks

That 'mask' would probably won't work as you have the _.* at the end, when it should be _*.* . Also, isn't the ? a single place holder, so if you KNOW that the first section must be 4 characters, then you might also use ????_dba_* or even ????_dba_*.zipTodd C - MSCTS SQL Server 2005 - Please mark posts as answered where appropriate.
