Wild Card issue

Hi,
I have a noticed a weird thing with wild cards in sap standard table PROJ.
We have entries for 23* , 24* & 25* in SAP table PROJ. When I try these individually everything is working as required.
When I enter 23* to 24* i am getting all entries for 23* and 24*...
but when i try 23* to 25* I am not getting entries with 25..* but i am getting 23* & 24*.
I thought it issue would be with conversions exit from user parameters.. I tried uncheck and check it is not working.
What is wrong here?

I tried 24* to 25* -I am only getting 24* records....
I tried 23* to 24* -I am only getting 23* records....
I tried 23* to 26* -I am getting 23, 24 & 25* records....So it is chopping off last selection.

Alert Rule - not working. Wild Card character issue

Hi All,
I have a requirement where I need to trigger alerts for mapping failures
of all the interfaces whose namespace is urn:abc.com:odna* or urn:abc.com.odna*. (in the first instance, there is dot before odna and int he second instance, a colon before odna )
So to suit both the cases, I gave urn:abc.comodna in the Alert Rule.
It worked before. But now its not working.
Then when i changed it to urn:abc.com:odna* it works again. i really dont understand how it worked before and why it fails now.
What is the reason for the unpredicatable behaviour of WildCard Character based Alert Rules?
Should Wild Card Characters be avoided completely?

Hey
Just create two separate alert rules for the same alert category
one for urn:abc.com:odna* and another for urn:abc.com.odna*.
but before that please make sure that "Suppress multiple alerts of this rule" box is unchecked.
Also please check SAP Note 913858
Thanx

File adapter wild card not working

Hi Gurus,
My file adapter seems to have issues with me
This adapter do not obey me when I specify wild cards. I have tried * , ? and also "Adavnced selection of source file" but no use. Although, he is a perfect gentleman when I specify complete file names.
Could you please suggest how to tame him?
Regards,
AV.

Hi,
this is what SAP Help says about it:
file.sourceFileName=<filename>
Specify the name of the file that you want to process.
The name can contain a placeholder (*) at any point, so as to be able to select a list of files for processing.
The following are valid examples for filename:
myFile.txt
my*.txt
*.txt
File.
File.*
myle.
Names that comprise more than two parts are also permitted.
Hope it helps.
Regards
Patrick

How to use wild card character in input field

Hi
I'm creating model in which the Purchase Order information need to be entered in Input Field.
My requirement is search using wild char char as '*'
Let say in input field i gave PO order as 20* then it'll search for all the PO's which starts from 20.
Could you please share some documents/guidelines, for this issue
Thanks and Regards
Puneet

Hi,
You can use the wild card char in the input box.please try below steps.
1.Check whether the input string has ' * ' char using "CONTAINS(text,pattern)" operation.
2.If yes, Replace the ' * ' with space by "REPLACE(text,pattern,repstr)" operation.->consider this result as input2
3.Now , Have a Filter from ur webservice(which gives your Purchase Order information )
and filter it by the condition " BEGINS(WSField,input2)"
the Final expression in the filter will be "_=IF(CONTAINS(input,""),BEGINS(HelpWSField,REPLACE(input,"\","")),true)_"
Hope it helps.

Persona Q Wild Card Premium Edition Preorder mishap

I placed an order for Persona Q Wild Card Premium Edition Preorder on 07/05/2014 for $49.99. Today, the standard edition came in the mail instead of the premium edition that I ordered. I'm wondering if I can get it exchanged for the premium edition in stores or just get ship the item back for the premium edition. I didn't get any notification that the order change when it shipped. I've read the other posts on this issue already and just want information on how to fix this issue. please help
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello lumiere-
I apologize for the lateness of this reply; we are currently backlogged on the forums and trying to catch up. As you may have surmised from this thread and others around Persona Q, there was initially an issue around the Wild Cards edition being listed incorrectly, which meant that some customers received the standard edition when they got their pre-orders.
We do have the Wild Cards edition available for order on BestBuy.com here and some stores may potentially have copies left. I would recommend returning your standard edition, if unopened and either exchanging it they have it in store or ordering online if they do not. I also have some additional information for you regarding your pre-order, so I’ll send you a private message with those details.

Terminal command to rename files in bulk with wild cards?

I had a group of files that had double extensions in the name and I wanted to strip the second extension:
myfile.r01.1
myfile.r02.1
so that the new names were
myfile.r01
myfile.r02
In DOS this would be accomplished easily by using the command line:
rename myfile.r??.1 myfile.r??
In OS X Terminal/Bash shell, though I couldn't find a command that has similar function that allows the use of wild cards in the file names.
I tried both the 'mv' abd 'cp' commands along the lines of:
mv myfile.r??.1 myfile.r??
but nothing worked, even using the * for the wildcard.
I did manage to use the Automator to accomplish the task by using some of its Finder options, but really, a simple command line would have been simpler and easier than building an Automator workflow for this.
Can anyone point me to a unix command that would have done what I am looking for, and the proper syntax for it?
Thanks.

From this page: http://www.faqs.org/faqs/unix-faq/faq/part2/section-6.html
How do I rename "*.foo" to "*.bar", or change file names to lowercase?
Why doesn't "mv *.foo *.bar" work? Think about how the shell
expands wildcards. "*.foo" and "*.bar" are expanded before the
mv command ever sees the arguments. Depending on your shell,
this can fail in a couple of ways. CSH prints "No match."
because it can't match "*.bar". SH executes "mv a.foo b.foo
c.foo *.bar", which will only succeed if you happen to have a
single directory named "*.bar", which is very unlikely and almost
certainly not what you had in mind.
Depending on your shell, you can do it with a loop to "mv" each
file individually. If your system has "basename", you can use:
C Shell:
foreach f ( *.foo )
set base=`basename $f .foo`
mv $f $base.bar
end
Bourne Shell:
for f in *.foo; do
base=`basename $f .foo`
mv $f $base.bar
done
Some shells have their own variable substitution features, so
instead of using "basename", you can use simpler loops like:
C Shell:
foreach f ( *.foo )
mv $f $f:r.bar
end
Korn Shell:
for f in *.foo; do
mv $f ${f%foo}bar
done
If you don't have "basename" or want to do something like
renaming foo.* to bar.*, you can use something like "sed" to
strip apart the original file name in other ways, but the general
looping idea is the same. You can also convert file names into
"mv" commands with 'sed', and hand the commands off to "sh" for
execution. Try
ls -d *.foo | sed -e 's/.*/mv & &/' -e 's/foo$/bar/' | sh
A program by Vladimir Lanin called "mmv" that does this job
nicely was posted to comp.sources.unix (Volume 21, issues 87 and
88) in April 1990. It lets you use
mmv '*.foo' '=1.bar'
Shell loops like the above can also be used to translate file
names from upper to lower case or vice versa. You could use
something like this to rename uppercase files to lowercase:
C Shell:
foreach f ( * )
mv $f `echo $f | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]'`
end
Bourne Shell:
for f in *; do
mv $f `echo $f | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]'`
done
Korn Shell:
typeset -l l
for f in *; do
l="$f"
mv $f $l
done
If you wanted to be really thorough and handle files with `funny'
names (embedded blanks or whatever) you'd need to use
Bourne Shell:
for f in *; do
g=`expr "xxx$f" : 'xxx(.*)' | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]'`
mv "$f" "$g"
done
The `expr' command will always print the filename, even if it
equals `-n' or if it contains a System V escape sequence like `c'.
Some versions of "tr" require the [ and ], some don't. It
happens to be harmless to include them in this particular
example; versions of tr that don't want the [] will conveniently
think they are supposed to translate '[' to '[' and ']' to ']'.
If you have the "perl" language installed, you may find this
rename script by Larry Wall very useful. It can be used to
accomplish a wide variety of filename changes.
#!/usr/bin/perl
# rename script examples from lwall:
# rename 's/.orig$//' *.orig
# rename 'y/A-Z/a-z/ unless /^Make/' *
# rename '$_ .= ".bad"' *.f
# rename 'print "$_: "; s/foo/bar/ if <stdin> =~ /^y/i' *
$op = shift;
for (@ARGV) {
$was = $_;
eval $op;
die $@ if $@;
rename($was,$_) unless $was eq $_;

Persona Q Wild Card Premium Edition Preorder

I placed an order for Persona Q Shadow of the Labyrinth Wild Cards Premium Edition 3DS on 7/05/2014. Nearing the release of the game I decided to check on its status to see when it would be shipping and noticed that it was linking to the wrong version in my order history ( regular version, not Wildcard that I ordered ) I emailed BestBuy 11/03 asking why it was linking to the wrong version in my order history and I received the following response:
"Hi Michael, Thank you for choosing Best Buy. I understand you would like to check the status of your order. I'll be happy to assist you. I was able to locate your order BBYXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX Persona Q Shadow of the Labyrinth The Wild Cards Premium Edition Nintendo 3DS using the email address [email protected] you used, and it appears that your pre-order status is pending release and scheduled to be shipped on December 2 2014."
The response confirmed that I would be receiving the Wild Card Edition and when it would ship but didn't address why it was linking to the wrong item. I sent the following email back 11/07:
"I'm confused as to why it says "Atlus Persona Q Shadow of the Labyrinth The Wild Cards Premium Edition Nintendo 3DS" in my order history but when I click on it it goes to the wrong version of the game. Do you have any idea why its doing that?"
I then received the following response on 11/07:
"After researching the issue, it appears that we have a system error issue with our Online Website. It's a site-wide issue and our technicians have already been made aware of it. We assure you our technicians are working full-time to immediately resolve the issue. We want you to know we have the most competent and technically gifted engineers working hand-in-hand in fixing the problem. Therefore, I should not take more than 24 hours for the said issue to be rectified."
I waited 24 hours and checked and nothing had changed. As I wasn't receiving any help from BestBuy email support after numerous attempts I had to look online to find out what the issue was. After doing some searching I found other customers online had the same issue and were told by BestBuy customer service that BestBuy made a mistake with the SKU and that they were issuing $30 gift cards so people could get the correct version that they ordered. I emailed BestBuy back with this information 11/17 and was told:
"Our technicians are still working to resolve it and we don't have an approximate time on when will it be resolve."
and that I would receive a $10 gift card. For some reason the email support people seemed to have no idea about the SKU mistake ( even after I looked it up online and explained it to them ) or that BestBuy was sending $30 gift cards to customers so they could receive the item they ordered. While I appreciate any gift card a business offers me it was a bit confusing why everyone else was issued a $30 gift card ( http://forums.bestbuy.com/t5/Gaming-Support/Persona-Q-Premium-Edition-Preorder/td-p/838319 / CAG ) and those customers didn't have BestBuy mistakenly confirm that the Wildcard Edition would be sent to them.
This has been extremely frustrating as I was erroneously told that I would receive the Wild Card Premium Edition, my order was changed without me receiving any notification at all, I was given the wrong information over and over and over again until I ultimately had to search online to find out what the issue was. I apologize for the length of this post but I needed to explain what happened and I wasn't getting any help at all from email support. I just want to either receive the game I ordered or a code / gift card so I can replace my order. Please help.

Hi mike1942,
I can see why you'd be concerned! Details on this issue have been provided to our phone and e-mail support teams, so it's disheartening to hear of the difficulties and conflicting information you've encountered in trying to find a solution.
When this title was initially made available for pre-order on BestBuy.com, the standard edition was incorrectly listed as the Wild Cards edition. The SKU number was correct though, and our merchant team has since made sure SKU #7377002 properly reflects the standard edition online.
I've sent you some information, so please make sure to check your private messages when you can. To check your PMs, simply sign into the forum and then click on the letter icon in the upper right-hand corner of the page.

'Wild Card' access setting in iTunes U - private site

Hi Folks,
I mistakenly deleted one of my access settings in our private iTunes U site today, and have managed to block all of our users from seeing any of their course content.
Does anyone know of an access setting that is some kind of Download wild card? I vaguely remember that it didn't look like any credentials were a part of the rule, so I assumed it was a kind of wild card.
Cheers!

The problem seems to be related to loading images from the apple site (deimos.apple.com). The iTunes launch page will randomly lock-up while loading these images ( there is a 30 second to 2 minute delay typically). If I try to load one of these images defined in the launch page HTML, directly in the browser I see the same issue. The issues varies, at times there is no issue and at others the images won't load properly 50% of the time.

How to create in house distribution provisional profile with wild card?

Hi,
I have enrolled for iOS enterprise distribution and created distribution certificate and App-id with wild card (e.g. com.companyname.*) from the portal (not from the xcode).
When I am trying to create the in house distribution provisional profile from portal, it is not listing the App-id with wild card. I can only create the profile with explicit App-id. I checked with other enterprise account but they are able to create such profiles.
How can I get in-house distribution profile linked with wild card App-id?
Thank you.

Did you find a solution for this? I encounter the same issue.

SD Card Issues and Sound Issues

Hello all,
I bought my Xperia Z2 probably 2-3 months ago and I have to say I do love this phone.
However I have come across a few issues that seems to be, not so common as I cannot find any solutions online (Which is why I'm here).
I am having 2 issues:
1st Issue:
SD Card Issue, this is a funny one as I have not been able to identify what actually causes this issue. Now this all started (or when I started to realise the issue) when I changed some settings in the Camera App. I saw that it was saving photos to "Internal Storage" and since I specifically bought a new SD card for the Xperia Z2, I wanted to store photos on the SD card instead.
So I changed it to SD Card Storage and all is well (At least, that is what I thought).
After taking some photos one day, I got home and wanted to preview them, in the photos app and Album (Sony's Photo Previewer) it shows that the photo is corrupted or missing (Depending on which app I'm using). This really annoyed me as the photos I took seems to be all lost and corrupted. So I tried to use a file explorer (Including File Commander) to find the actual file and open it, but it seems to have the same problem. I get this grey background with a picture of a mountain with like a thunderbolt sign (Broken sign).
Following this, I have also tried to copy some video files onto the SD card and it has been giving me troubles too. I tried to copy videos onto the SD card in 2 ways, first way is to take the SD card out, connect it to a SD card reader and plug that into the computer. After it finished copying onto the SD card, the files would just disappear (I use computers a lot and this was very surprising and new to me... It's like the SD card deleted the files right after it was copied, or maybe even 'hid' the files).
So since that method didn't work I thought I would try putting the SD card back into the phone and connect the phone to the computer then use Sony's MediaGO (Computer App) to transfer the videos and it sort of worked this time. I copied 14 videos over and only the first 2 videos are working, the others are all "Media is missing" or of some sort. I checked the video's format and they are all either .avi or .mp4 which I don't think is a problem as the first 2 videos are in .avi so surely other .avi videos would work too? Guess not...
So it seems like I am having troubles with Video and Photos on the SD card as music is working 100% fine. Used Media GO to copy the music on and it's all working wonderfully.
Some of you might suggest formatting the SD Card, I will say I have... I have tried the above methods before formatting AND after formatting (Formatting using Xperia Z2, or shall I say "erase").
The SD card I have is Sandisk's 64GB Ultra (I bought this to anticipate 4K or at least 1080p video recordings).
If the issue here is SD Card compatibility and I was silly enough to not have seen that prior, then I would gladly admit it's my fault and be happy that the solution would simply mean to buy another SD card.
But that said, I highly doubt that would be the issue due to the fact that the SD card is made for performance (Not the best performance as the Extreme and Extreme Pro range are a lot better) and the card is new.
2nd Issue:
Now this issue is not as bad as the first issue, it's something to do with the sound. I understand the phone has 3 sound controls, one for the Ringtone for when you get a notification or/and phone call, one for Media and one for Alarm.
What I do is I have the Ringtone volume sitting at around 50% and Media will be dependent as I change it when I open an app but the issue I've been having is this:
If I open an app (Mainly games that has sound/music) and I change the Media volume to say 70% or even 20%, whenever I get a notification whilst in-app the notification volume seems to be at 100% no matter what I do with the media volume. This is weird as my default Ringtone/Notification volume is sitting very low at around 50% or even if I change it to 20%.
What am I missing here? Any thoughts?
With the above 2 issues, last resort would be to factory reset my phone but will be willing to do it if there's a high chance of the issue getting fixed.
Your thoughts will be greatly received as right now I'm just lost and not sure what to do with the issues. I'm slowly getting the feeling that I should just give up on the phone and use it for phone calls, music and forget about the whole photo/video taking which is very sad as I love the phone's photo/video taking features.
Solved!

Hello Rickard,
Thank you for the link, I have started the test and 10 minutes into the test the speed for writing dropped. Anyways I only managed to get through in writing 8GB of data then I gave up. I then started to verify that 8GB of data that was written on the SD Card.
I have to say, it does seem like that SD Card is defective
Thank you for providing the link, what I will do now is get another SD Card and see if the problem is still there.
If the problem goes away I would consider my 1st issue being solved
However I am still not sure about my 2nd issue as this is not related to the SD card. Even without the SD card in the phone I seem to be experiencing this problem.
It's frustrating sometimes as if I'm trying to keep the volume down and play a game I can't because any notifications that comes through will be at 100% volume.
Perhaps there's a setting I'm missing?
Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Using wild card with Captivate 5 ( fill in the blank)

I am training software package that requires many fill in the blanks besides the login screeen. If I were to recording the actions using Captivate 5 record, I think, I can only use a demonstration recording as oppsed to having my students interact with the product by filling in the blank. For example, my product asks for a login. When I login to demonstrate how it should be done, the product reponds correctly. By my student is limited to watching as opposed to interacting. While login is not such a big deal, there are several other areas where the same concept applies. Ideally, I wish to use wild cards in fill in the blank so that any name or information can be used to interact with Captivate and move the slide along. Is this possible, and if so, how?

I think Lilybiri may be misinterpreting your use of the term "wildcards" to mean using them in the programming sense.
Perhaps you are referring to the characters that appear in a typical Password field to hide what the user is actually typing?
If so, the text field object in Captivate has an option to use these password characters so that the user's typing characters are hidden. The characters used are asterisks, which are what some people refer to as wildcard characters.

Z1 SD card issues..Often caused by FAKE SD cards, unbeknownst to the user and those trying to help?

Hi All...
Well for the last month or so Ive had problems with my 64 gb SD card..losing data, getting corrupt and requiring non stop formatting..until eventually it just died totally.
Of course, throughout all this I was searching various forums for fixes and reasons why...and as far as I could see it was the fault of the Z1 'killing' SD cards ( I tried the card in other peoples phones and it did not work either..so I assumed it had been corrupted BY the phone!......since it HAD worked perfectly when i first got it)...
Well...Once it finally died totally this week., I decided to send it back to Samsung for an RMA. The card I had was a good quality, 64gb Samsung Evo SDXC class 10...Bear in mind I purchased it from an Ebay seller that had 1000s of positive feedback (1 or 2 negs regards late postage only) and the card arrived in the post in packaging with hologram etc, and all appeared good quality....
Im actually pretty tech savvy..and indeed internet shopping savvy, and have never been ripped off or conned before.....I didnt buy a 64gb EVo that was ridiculously cheap or anything..I paid what they are worth (then about £27)
But Samsung took one look at it and informed me it was a fake...the issue I had come up against was that the card worked fine up until its ACTUAL (not listed) capacity was reached..which was 7 GIGS!!!..not 64!!!...it was at that point that it started corrupting files and failing in general....
Which in my case was a couple of weeks after installing it in my phone (and the day I got round to piling all my music on it!)......so I had a few weeks of actual use out of it while all seemd fine....enough time to leave positive feedback for the seller and all!.....DEVIOUS SWINES!!! : D.
Anyway,
Now Im wondering...since these symptoms (files vanishing, corrupting etc) have been talked about so many times on these forums and elsewhere...not only on the Xperia Z1, but on all phones and devices that use SD cards...I wonder just how many are REALLY down to fake SD cards.....They are VERY realistic looking fakes...they even work pretty well up to a point (though probs not as fast as a real class 10 if you were to actually test them)..
In future, when offering help to people with SD card issues..i think I will make an effort to ask them first about the provenance of their SD card, and maybe try and get images of it. (after the fact Ive found several websites that show the fake ones...I even found an image of the EXACT fake I have..same serial numbers, and same tiny printing error and all!....which was THIS site https://thecounterfeitreport.com/product/504/Samsung-micro-SDXC-Memory-Cards.html)
In all the threads I pored over, trying to find a fix for my SD card issues..I can not remember a single instance of someone asking if the card was definitely real or not..or anyone suspecting this to be the issue....(though Im sure there ARE, i didnt find one though..not that I would havee thought it was the case with mine,,,,since I had NO reason to think it WAS fake..what with the perfect packaging, and seller having no neg feedback after selling hundreds of them!).
Im not some sort of SD card expert..BUT I am pretty up to date with regards consumer tech.....and until Samsung revealed to me I had been conned...I had absolutely no INKLING that the cause of my issues wa a fake card...on no forums did anyone ask the person with the issue 'are you sure your card is real?'.....and I am really coming round to think that these fake cards are RIFE out there on the market....so realistic looking, package and all, that probably otherwise legitimate sellers are trading in them......the KILLER being the fact they do actually work...maybe for MONTHS if it takes you a while to reach its true capacity....and certainly long enough in many cases to mean the nefarious seller gets away scot free!
So watch out guys...I ceritanly will be in fuiture...Now I know that fake cards are a big thing.....its really easy to spot the fake ones (if the seller uses a REAL picture of the item on the listing!)...they are by no means identical to the real deal when you know what to look for (in the case of fake EVO 64gb like mine, just 'made in Taiwan' and the back being gloss black instead fo white, is enough to show it as fake.....but I did not know that at the time when an absolutely perfect lookng offical Samsung package turned up at my door!....
Anyone else have this yet? Im sure they have....also, anyone wonder now if the cause of their woes is a fake card? If you would like to post here, Im happy to have a look at it!
Thanks all!
(Here is my fake one for you all to see : D...apparently it is a VERY common fake....wish I had known! I also wish i still had the very realistic packaging too!)

Well to be honest I wasnt aware of such things myself until I got stung.....or rather not aware that you could follow all the rules, and do everything right, like check for good feedback, (my seller had 1000s positve and 99% ratio....and not buy items that have a price that is 'too good to be true'...........and STILL get ripped off!
You live and you learn! Ive been shopping online for just about 10 years and this was the VERY FIRST time Ive had a problem of ANY kind!
I had gotten so confident shopping online, that I bought a pretty valuable watch online not a month ago..my first 'large' online purchase in fact.....a Casio GPW-1000 RAF edition... a quite rare '500 pieces in UK' item. Though it came from a large watch dealer, I realise now that it was still a risk (though I had the protection of paying by Credit Card..which I willl ALWAYS do from now on!)....as they may have sold a counterfiet item, and not actually realised it themselves...
Since I have had this experience of buying a counterfeit product,, I haev been reading into the phenomena..and it turns out that Casio G Shock watches (the type I spent a fari bit of money on...a legitimate one luckily!) are very heavily counterfeited...and are ALL OVER Ebay....who seems to do nothing about it!
I can understand (though not condone AT ALL) criminals counterfeiting a sought after watch design, or jewellery and things like that...because they have a market for them, in the shape of people that cant afford the real thing, and think its ok to buy a cheap and poor quality knock off, that only superficially appears to be real.......
...but I have to say its a big surprise to me that they would counterfeit something like an SD card, even if it is a quite highly regarded model.......and even go to such effort to copy the packaging perfectly......I think that the fact that so much effort went into faking a Samsung Evo 64gb sd card ..that it demonstrates that there are a LOT of them out there....hundreds of thousands for sure....but could there be millions?
Due to this prevelance, I think it might well be worth asking each person that comes on the forum with an SD card problem, in particular those with a'new' SD that is losing data, or needs to reformat all the time, or any of the 'giveaway' symptoms...to ask them for an image of the offending article as a starting point.....and to then compare it to images of the real ones that are online...
Im sure most of them will deny they own a fake....I certainly didnt think for one second my problems were due to a counterfeit card...as I said in my post...the first I knew of it was when Samsung themselves informed me!
Otherwise we end up going round in circles trying to 'fix the unfixable'..which is what happend to me : D
Anyway, I will keep an eye out for people on the forum, and a couple of other tech sites I frequent, and see if I can identify any more of these fakes, and hopefully can catch them soon enough that the customers can get their money back, since the problems often dont manifest themselves until the time for immediate refund is passed (once again, this happened to me, and Im having to claim through Paypal..though they are being very helpful...its only £22...but its the principle of the thing!)
Thanks all, and stay vigilant!

Wild Card as key field value in Content Conversion

Hi,
Can any one please tell me that can a wild card such as '*' be used as key field value.
Thnx,
Pravesh Puria.

Hi Pravesh
For the file name in the sender file adapter you can use the '*' or '?'(as a placeholder for exactly one character)
You can also enable the "Advanced Selection for Source File" in the sender file adapter, where you can do two things:
a)you can specify an exclusion mask for the file name specified above.
b)you can specify/lits multiple directories with a file name and an associated exclusion mask, e.g. in file name you put ".txt" and in the associated exclusion mask "a". The every file with ".txt" except "a" will be fetched from that directory.
Try it out.
Regards,
Goekhan
