it looks like only "MEMBER_EXTRACT*" files were touched

Hi John,

Thanks for looking at this for me.

The directory contains thousands of other files. I didn't do a file count on the entire directory before I ran the ComplexDelete("MEMBER_EXTRACT.*;*") call. I'll test your hunch and see if I deleted any files that I
didn't intend to.
