A month or so ago, I posted a query on this topic (repeated below).  Nobody has
answered!  I'm not sulking but is it because I'm posting too incomprehensibly,
I'm trying to do something HTTrack "obviously" cannot do, or do I need to
formally join some network or other?
To recap, file names are the same but an element of the path changes every
week or so and I can't work out how to get round it.  Given that the normal
way of getting to the file is via clicking a series of icons/links ending in
"OpenDocument", is HTTrack actually suited to getting at the files?
Thanks for any help.




======================================================

I am trying to mirror certain pdf files from a site where the file names
remain
the same but one element of the path changes regularly (CMS perhaps?).

A typical file name is of the form

<fixed element of path>/<variable element of path>/$FILE/fred.pdf

If I put in the full path, WinHTTrack Website Copier 3.41-2
happily gets the file for me.  Next week (when I am looking for any changes)
the variable element of the path has changed.

I have tried <fixed element of path>/*/$FILE/fred.pdf without success,
getting
error messages like

"Warning:  link is probably looping, type unknown, aborting: ..."

I should add that the way in via browser is via a download page, which
contains a gif image of the PDF icon which, when clicked, downloads the file.



Grateful for any advice.
