Include Files

The options on this page can be accessed from the Exceptions window.

Include Files

Use this field to determine which file types will be included as part of synchronization. File Type Inclusions are specified by a star command followed by the file extension (i.e. *.doc). You can also specify specific file names and/or sub strings using the * wildcard character.

The default setting * includes all files.

Multiple Inclusions can be used and are semicolon delimited (i.e. *.doc;*.txt;*.exe).

Inclusions are not case sensitive, (i.e. "A" = "a").

Examples	*.doc	- includes any file ending with the extension .doc
	docs	- includes any file that contains the string docs
	copy*	- includes any file starting with the string copy
	file;data;	- includes any file containing the strings file or data

You may also use the ? wildcard character to further narrow down your inclusions. The ? wildcard character can be used to substitute any single character in the file name including numbers.

Examples	????.*	- includes files that have extensions and contain only 4 characters in the name
	June????.*	- includes files that have extensions, start with the word June, and are followed by 4 characters
	??ne????*	- includes files that have the characters ne in the 3rd and 4 th positions followed by at least 4 characters

Inclusions can be typed manually, or can be specified using either the Include File Types button or drop-down list located to the right of the field.

Include Files Button

Opens an "Exceptions" dialog box into which file extensions may be entered. The "include all files" command * will be shown by default.

To add an extension, click "New." Next, type the desired extension into the field located at the bottom of the dialog. Repeat this process for each desired file type. Inclusions can be deleted by selecting them from the list and clicking the "Delete" key at the bottom of the dialog box. Once you have finished, click the "OK" button. The dialog will close and all of the Inclusions you have specified will automatically appear in the Include File Types field in the proper format (separated by semi-colons).

The drop-down list located to the right of this field will be dynamically populated with Inclusions as they are set through the "Exceptions" dialog described above. They are also added to the list when you exit the field after manually editing the Include File Types field. Inclusions can then be specified by selecting them from this list. This provides a way to store and/or retrieve sets of Inclusions for later use with other Jobs.
