Hi,

How can I specify something like this:

Download all the pages that match pattern x and y, and exclude the rest?
example:
http://site.com/details.php?id={:0..9999999}
http://site.com/browse.php?id={:0..9999999}

Some of those links may not be valid, and I don't want to download thousands of pages with a banner "page not exist".
I want OE to browse the original http://site.com/ and download from here everything that matches those 2 patterns(+ the images) and exclude the rest of the pages.

I'm guessing that the question resumes to:
Is it possible to exclude pages that don't match a specific pattern?

1. Create a new Project with the URL and allow unlimited level.

2. In the Project Properties dialog go to URL Filters - Filename section and add the keywords to the Included list:

details.php?id=
browse.php?id=

3. File Filters - Images section - select "Load from any site" in the Location box.

This will be enough to make the download you want.
