> Hi ohrenkino, thanks for your reply. Square brackets as optional parts would be great but I tried every way but can't make this work. Are you sure this works for filename -\> tag?

Sorry - did I read something wrong? I thought we were talking about tag-filename. probably my mistake prior to the afternoon cup of coffee.

Also apologies if I wasted your time - no, for the import of data you have to be exact.  
So there is no way around than to apply sensible filters and then extract the data with the appropriate mask.
