like i windows you have * as a wildcard.. if you search for *.* you get all files in the directory you search..

im using the directorylisting script from persits aspupload and i want the script to only allow users to get the files from one fixed directory and the subfolders.. of course i could write an if for every subfolder but thats to much work.. i want something so i can just write

<% if Directory = "C:\mydir\[Wildcard]" then %>

directorylisting script

<% else %>

screw you

<% end if %>

if thats possible and you know what i mean..

As far as I know there arent any wildcards for that. You would need to create a function to pull the directory name and compare it.
