Maybe with a robot that was set up to use patterns like that. But normal robots won't understand it.

Then what would be the best way to accomplish this. url: /*1/file/*2/ Taking into account that: - "*1" can be practicly anything and a lot of different values are possible - "*2" will be short, allthough it can be a lot of different values. What would be the best way to prevent indexing by bots? I can't use the meta-tag, as these are images and other files (non-html).

Well, if you're going to disallow everything within file, you can just shorten it to /*1/file/. There's no pretty way to deal with the different values of *1, though. I just write out each case. If you're gonna end up with lots of lines of Disallows, you could probably write a script that will traverse your directory structure and output a robots.txt for you.

hmmm, too bad Something that needs improvement if you ask me :) oh well, I'll live with it. I'll probably make a script that will make the robots.txt on the fly when it's requested; simple check in the database will give me the answer on that :) As *1 is subject to change so often that it's to much work to do that on every change. tnx for the input!

Yeah, it's a pain in the you know what. :-) You're welcome, DoppyNL.
