Lightbulb Using Wildcards to Specify Files to Be shared

I am all geared up to conduct some research using limewire for large file distribution. However I ran into my first technical glitch.

Is there away to use wildcard characters to specify the file extensions to be shared?

If not -- I would like you to include this functionality.

For this project each file extension will ascend in numerical order. I've tried the standard ones like (???? or ****) but no luck.

The only way I've been able to get this to work is by specifying each file name individually and although I'm not sure I think there is probably a 255 character limit on the file extensions dialog box. For this project I would need to make 7033 entries!

(001;002;003;004;005;006;007)

Essentially the files use the following naming convention.

filename.avi.#### <= Numerical Digit

If any one knows how to accomplish this please advise.

Thanks in advance for your help.
