Thanks David,

 Yes I've read every bit of documentation for Directory Watcher ... I guess
my problem is more of a generic ruby programming problem.

I'm not sure how to dynamically change the glob pattern ...Since its set
during the creation of the dw object .. Of course I can change it, within
the add_observer block - with a symbol.. But the problem I'm having is
getting the subdirectory name for matching...

ie: C:\Send has 3 subdirectories

C:\Send\Bob
C:\Send\Kevin
C:\Send\James

I want to only match a filename that has "Bob, Kevin, or James" inside its
respective subdirectory.
