I'm trying to convert this page - http://realefun.blogspot.com/ - so that it picks up the front page plus reader comments.

I set my link depth to 1; added a wildcard "*" exclusion filter; then added a wildcard inclusion filter that I thought would extract the comments, namely

http://realefun.blogspot.com/2005/??/*.html#comments

but its still only picking up the front page. Then I read up on regex & tried a Regular Expression version of this inclusion filter

http://realefun\.blogspot\.com/200./../.*\.html#comments (& actually a number of variations on this too)

but still haven't been able to get it to work. Why do neither of these work?

thanks

Mitch

The issue happens to be that the fragment part of the link is not included in the URL check. You can change your URL filter to http://realefun.blogspot.com/2005/??/*.html and it should work just as well.

And, I love your software - its my most used application on my Pocket PC. Thanks for a brilliantly executed program.
