5.2.1. File filter

www.zzee.com | You are here: Contents > 5. User interface > 5.2. Settings > 5.2.1. File filter

Here you can specify what files and folders will go to the listing. The program comes with the preset filter that outputs all files.

5.2.1.1. File name filter. Directory name filter.

www.zzee.com | You are here: Contents > 5. User interface > 5.2. Settings > 5.2.1. File filter > 5.2.1.1. File name filter. Directory name filter.

You can restrict files to be output. To do so, you need to specify file name pattern in the Include box and Skip box. You can type your own masks or select from the list. If you have selected anything then you can change the selection up to your needs.

By default Include box has "*" mask and Skip box has empty ("") mask. Such settings allow to process all files.

Use 2 wildcard symbols:
'*' - matches any number (even zero) of any symbols;
'?' - matches zero or one symbol;
To separate several patterns use semicolon ';' . Pattern matching is case insensitive.

Example patterns are:

* any file (default pattern)
*.* any file with an extension
*.htm? any html file
*.gif; *jp?g; *.png any gif, jpeg or png image
manual_*.pdf any pdf file, beginning with "manual_"
*2000*.zip;*2000*.gz;*2000*.tar any zip, tar or gz file, having "2000" in it
*readme* any file having "readme" in it

"Exclude" + "OR" If the file has at least one of the unchecked attributes, then it is skipped.
"Include" + "OR" If the file has at least one of the checked attributes, then it passes OK.
"Exclude" + "AND" If the file has all of the unchecked attributes, then it is skipped.
"Include" + "AND" If the file has all of the checked attributes, then it passes OK.
