Gidi As per your example and assuming that the directory structure is a date and the date format is yyyymmdd
Exclude.dir "M:\Manam\200[0-5][0,1][0-9][0-3][0-9]" This will exclude 2000-2005. Change the first value in square brackets to read [2-5] if you want to exclude 2002-2005 as in your example.

I need to exclude thousands of directories starting :"2002","2003","2004","2005" (Example:M:\Manam\20040505) in a win3k client, so that i'll state only to first 4 chars. Can anyone write me the correct syntax? Many Thanks!
