ok, this is proving to rather difficult for me, as the software i try is not getting me anywhere.

i'm looking for software that, when a URL is entered, will grab all the images from a directory, however i want to be able to specify wildcards.

example:
i have a URL. "http://www.insertnamehere.com/image5555.jpg"

i want to run a program that will let me enter "http://www.insertnamehere.com/image*.jpg"
and have the program grab all the images in the directory beginning with "image" and with the extension ".jpg".

the point is, with a file name like "image5555.jpg" there could be thousands of other pictures in that directory, but i do not have the time nor the sanity to sit there typing in "image5554.jpg", "image5553.jpg", "image5552.jpg" until i find a filename that actually brings up an image.

i explained this as thouroughly as possible. thanks in advance!
