Is there a finder replace in the PD/Shareware arena which allows you to do something like dir *.ext (on Vax) or ls *.ext (on Unix) which list all the files with a certain extension? Thanks in advance. Ida

Do do the above query, I would "Find and select items whose" [name] [ends with] .ext Where I have [name] you can also have size, kind, label, date modified, etc. Where I have [ends with] you can also have contains, starts with, is, etc. For each of the first level (name, kind, size), the second level has different options. If you click the "all at once" check box, then all of the found files will be selected simultaneously. If it is not checked, it will show the first instance found and you can skip to the next one with "Find Next".
