Wildcar selection with Include feature


rhpt

Recommended Posts

Is there a way to use the "Include" feature so it deletes files with a non-extension wildcard? For example, all files in a directory that starts with Foo. So C:\example|Foo*

 

I have a file that is created weekly with a slightly different filename each time (Foo1201, Foo1202, Foo1203, etc.) and it doesn't have an extension, so I can't choose a specific file.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

 

Thank you

Yes, do as in this thread http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=25500&hl=

 

Just enter the file name as foo*.*

 

As usual, test first, I don't guarantee anything.

 

 

 

Finally got a chance to try this. Entering the file nas as foo*.* doesn't work. I think it's because the file(s) I'm trying to delete do not have a file extension. and file* doesn't work either ....

Hmm. It worked when I tested it, with or without a file extension. The actual entry I used to test was C:\Documents and Settings\Me\My Documents\New Folder\xxx*.*

 

It worked with varying file names beginning with xxx
