Hi Brian: 1) It means we would have to scan the directory contents before deciding to include it. Can we assume that we only need scan one level, and not recurse, meaning we wouldnt find: dirWith/dirWithout/dirWith since dirWith would not get shown. 2) are the directories themselves named in a way that can be filtered?
