thanks, but that does not work!?

I tried:
on mouseUp pMouseButton
 answer folder "sdsdsdsd"
 put it into tFolder
 put files(tFolder) into tList
 filter tList with pattern "*.(jpe?g|png|gif)"
 answer tList
end mouseUp

tList = EMPTY, I made of course sure there are JPG, PNG and GIF files in that folder.

Same when I use:
...
filter lines of tList with pattern "*.(jpe?g|png|gif)"
...
Any clues?
