Include folder pattern with wildcard possible?

Recommended Posts

In menu

 

Options-->Include

 

users can define additional files to be wiped.

 

But what if I don't want to specify the exact folder location but only a folder pattern.

Example:

 

In a directory tree

 

D:\appserver\

 

I want to wipe all folder sub trees which match the pattern *cache*.

So the following folders should be wiped for example

 

D:\appserver\mycache\

D:\appserver\foo\bar\cacheold\

D:\appserver\another\sub\folder\cache\

 

Unfortunately I cannot specify in CCleaner something like

 

D:\appserver\*cache*\*.*

or

D:\appserver*\*cache*\*.*

 

Mind all the *

 

Is this possible somehow else?

 

If not: Can this be included in the next release?

 

Thx

Thomas

You are a braver man than I.

 

Are you happy to assume that CCleaner will correctly understand what you meant by things such as

D:\appserver\*cache*\*.*

or

D:\appserver*\*cache*\*.*

or would you want it to await confirmation for each target that it discover as being eligible for wiping ?
