Sorry. I didn't notice that you used "? ?? ???" instead of an "*".
But here you need some knowledge about the length of the url-list.
If you use "? ?? ???" in the script you'll get errors if there
were less than 100 urls in the list.

Formating the numbers to strings like "0001" "0002" will make
the script independant of the actual number of urls (as
long as the number can be represented with the chosen string
length).


Regards,

Kees.

No. It's an ellipsis. An ellipse is a closed conic section.
