wildcard for googlebot

[fzx5v0]

I would like googlebot to stop indexing all urls on the below path but where the wild card is that directery changes all the time is this ok and will it follow the rule

User-agent: Googlebot
Disallow: /index.php/cPath/*/sort/

Thanks I hope I have explained this properly

Wildcards don't exist in robots.txt

Just

Disallow: /index.php/cPath/

That will ban everything below cPath.

As it's a Googlebot specific question:
Google does allow wildcards as you can see at [google.com...]

True, although I personally feel that once we start using individual rules for each search engine then we may as well through the rule book in the bin. Also, don't forget that these aren't real pages we're talking about, they're dynamic.

In reality, as the above file is dynamically generated, IMO the best (easiest?) way to block spidering would be to include <META NAME="GOOGLEBOT" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW"> into the page head.
