Hi list,
I haven't received any response to my last mail - does really nobody
have any idea for a solution to my problem (see below)? I would very
much appreciate any input.

In fact, thinking about that the script should not only ask
permission, but should probably should offer to clear the directory

Well, if you're not worried about hidden files, you could use glob:

Nice... much better. That test would come in handy instead of comparing the
whole list of files to the current one incoming. It wou
I've contacted module author on that matter and it turned out there
was a bug in OIO 3.59. Fixed version 3.63 is already available on

Thanks Sanket,
So if this script is run on a Unix box, everything after the second #
would be treated as a comment, right?

I completely agree with you Raymond- we should not be pre-judged based on
our nationalities or institutional affiliations.
Also, IMHO, the only stupid question is the one that is not asked. Forum
members, especially beginners, should feel comfortable posting questions
without fear of ridicule.
