Hi All,  I have a directory scanning question.  I want to expose only netCDF 
files in a large directory structure that will have many directories without 
netCDF files.   If a directory does not have a netCDF file, I need to have it 
hidden.

So, if I have

dir1/subdir1/<bunch of files but NO netCDF files>
dir1/subdir2/<bunch of files and some netCDF files>

I only want dir1/subdir2/<netcdf files>  to be in the catalog, and not 
dir1/subdir1 with nothing at the endpoint.

I can make a script that builds a catalog file that explicitly contains the 
netCDF files, but would rather do this with datasetScan.  I was hoping that the 
following would exclude everything except netCDF files.

<filter>
    <include wildcard="*.nc" collection="false"/>
    <exclude wildcard="/*" collection="true"/>
</filter>

I hope I've articulated this well.  If anyone has any guidance, that would be 
great.


Cheers,
