Can I use multiple metacharachters in a filter. I'm trying to download from a site that has 5 digit random number followed by 2 random letters. I tried "[100000-99999]\w\w.htm" (without the quotes) but it didnt work. Could somebody please help. Thanks.

Hi,

You can use "[10000-99999][a-Z][a-Z].htm", but it will add 270,400,000 links into queue (52X52X100000)! So please use the up-level URL as start URL, let PicaLoader find out the links.
Or you can send the site URL to PicaLoader@vowsoft.com

Kind Regards,
