The ? Replaces a single character, so for the filename in the format you
provided:

MTR_2007-04-30.TXT

Use

?????????40-30.txt

I need it to be automated ... and the filenames will change by day we 
would only want the ones that end in 04-30.TXT or what ever the

their will be 2 files and some their might be 5+ files to merge.

Thanks
