Hi Kumar,

Here is the use case for your understanding.

If you want to process all files that have the extension '.txt', but want to exclude all files that begin with the letter 'a' from folder abc.

To do this, enter *.txt for File Name, and a* for Exclusion Mask.

For example in addition to the above requirement if you want to process all files that have the extension '.pdf', but want to exclude all files that begin with the letter 'a' from folder cdf

To do this, Check the option Advanced Selection for Source File and give as below

cdf for directory *.pdf for File Name, a* for Exclusion Mask

Dear gurus,

Thanks for your quick replay  here  I am having a doubt

1) If I want to exclude  two files how to differentiate that file names?(like ',' or '.')

2) I am having two different source directory's here I need to exclude 'pdf' files from both directory's then how?

Hi,

1)

Ex:abc*.txt If you want to exclude abcd.txt and abcde.txt

sol:

dir1  abc*.txt  abcd.txt(Exclusion Mask)

dir1  abc*.txt  abcde.txt(Exclusion Mask)

2)say dir1 = abc dir2 = cde

dir1   fileschema/filename    *.pdf(Exclusion Mask)

dir2    fileschema/filename    *.pdf(Exclusion Mask)

Cheers

Hi,

The first Exclusion Mask is for main source directory/File Name, but however you still have to select "Advanced Selection for Source File" to have exclusion mask feature.

The second tabular one is for individual directories and file name masks.
