robots.txt and blocking querystrings

Is it possible to block a file that will have querystrings attached?

The situation is a bit complicated, but its enough to say that the only solution I currently have available is to attempt to block the file using robots.

However, the file in question uses querystrings as well, so if I had to use

Disallow: /directory/file.html

would the robots (especially Google) also ignore "file.html?blah=meh", etc?

 

yes, i guess it would also block indexing of querystrings

 

Yep, your line disallows access to all URL's starting with /directory/file.html.
