Thanks for your reply,
Finally I think I'm going to test names and extensions.
(User can enter "P?w?*.TXT" and I would have to test all archives with 
extension ".TXT" and then with name "P?W?*" )
This is the problem but I think in a few time scratching the keyboard I'm 
going to success.
Salutacions,
