evaluated string for filter doesn't work

[Jim Ault]

You are adding quote chars to the filter string so that

quote &".jpg"&quote would have to actually be in the the line to be a 'hit'
Most file names do not contain quotes.

--  try 

filter tFiles with tFilter

or
filter tFiles with  ("*" & fld "extension")


or if you want to get more confused  -------

 put "music.jpg" into tFiles
  put "*.jpg" into tFilter
  get (" filter tFiles with " & quote & tFilter & quote)
  do " filter tFiles with " & quote & tFilter & quote
  put tFiles
