And the issue is purely operator error... I've searched the forum but I'd either get no topics back or so many that it was crazy to search through them! I'm sure this has happened to people before, so I apologize in advance if this is a duplicate.
Button to list all files modified today, recursing through subdirectories & display them in a flat-view. That all works fine. The problem is trying to filter out any files that are created by the program itself & live in directories starting with an underscore. The Help file has an almost identical situation for one of the examples & I recreated the filter as best as possible, but I'm still not able to filter out those pesky system files!
Filter (saved as ModifiedTodayNoLocks):
And Date Match Modified Within 1 day
And Subclause No Match
Name Match _*
Use wildcards checked; Use regular expression cleared
And Type No Match [Folders Only]
Pretty much to the 't' with what's in the help file. Yet, it constantly displays files in the _vti_pvt & _vti_cnf folders. I don't think that the command should make any impact on this, but just in case:
@sync
Set FLATVIEW=MixedNoFolders,Toggle
Set columnstoggle=pathrel(1)
Select ModifiedTodayNoLocks FILTER HIDEUNSEL FILTERFLAGS=hidenomatch
Select NONE
Thank you in advance for any assistance and/or suggestions!
I think you just need to change the subclause into subfolder (and remove the Type != Folder since it's not needed under a subfolder clause).
Subfolder is the only thing which will stop a filter looking below a directory. The filter as you have it now might exclude the directory itself but would still look inside of it and potentially include the files within it (which would then automatically include the directory, since it has to be created to copy the files).
Hmm, at least, that's the case with a filter used with the Find tool. Not sure if it'll work with the Select tool. Give it a try though.
If not you can filter things out by Location No-Match (wildcards) _ or similar.
Subfolder didn't work any different than the previous attempts. However, the location idea worked just fine. Thank you!
