Subject: Re: How to use the Dir class, search for a sub directroy


I removed the * as I only want exact match. There are only artist
folders such as ABBA acdc they do not have additional folders.
I do agree with you comment below; strange though, if I change
the folder ABBA to FBBA my code returns no match found, then
I change the name back to ABBA, I get found match. Sooo it does work,
yet if it's wrong it will then break some time. I think a different
Dir class command is needed not glob, I am trying only for
a ture or false return not the aray.

Again thanks for your input; and on Sunday too!
