Re: Recursion Problem??

GREAT!
 
I hadn't used filters before, but that worked great.  I just setup a
filter to ignore directories and can now just call it from a files option:
filter=ignoredir.  That's exactly what I was looking for.

filters:
                                                                                
   { ignoredir
                                                                                
   Type:        "dir"
   Result:      "!Type"
                                                                                
   }




Thanks Mark!
