I agree, not a good assumption in most cases - and its a bit wasteful since
i'm creating an array of globs with elements that will never match (ie: a
file with a single name in C:\send will never match unless a directory
exists with the same name, and the same file under it)

This is good though, thank you - just seeing these regex's in use helps me
understand them..

 Thanks,

Brian
