Hi Darlan,

This is almost what I am looking for. I= would be nice if I could get it to drill down into subdirectories.
All= my work is located in a directory called research that contains a several = directory related to different projects.
The problem with this variable is that works only for files in a fixed= directory.
cheers
M
