Use "*BB*" . In man page for wget it says NAMES or PATTERN. By just giving BB it means a file named BB rather than BB being part of pattern.

Subject: wget syntax questtion
I am a new user of wget. I love its flexibility. However, I have a syntax question. (And yes, I *did* read the manual). But, I am still doing something incorrectly.
My goal: To download some files in a directory, but not all of the files.
As an examle, let's say the target directory has the following files in it:
file-AA.1 file-AA.2 file-AA.3 file-BB.1 file.BB.2 file.BB.3 file.CC.1
Let's assume I want to download all files EXCEPT those containing BB.
I have already tried the following:
wget -r -R BB http://www.host.com/path/to/files
I thought the -R option would exclude all files with the 'BB' as part of the name. But, it did not.
Advice or help would be appreciated.
Thanks..Terry
