FSet - File Name Filter


File Name Filter uses wildcard characters. A wildcard is a character that can be used to represent a character or sequence of characters in a path. A question mark (?) can represent a single character. An asterisk (*) represents any sequence of characters. For example, *.txt represents all file names ending with the extension txt.

FSet applys the filter to the full path of a file, not the file name only. This wont affect the old convention we have got used to, but makes it more flexible. For example, *\drafts\*.txt picks out txt files in drafts sub-folder only, not the txt files in all folders.
