![]() When a pattern matches a file or folder, the pattern’s type ( Include or Exclude) is applied to the file or folder. The third ( Pattern) consists of text that will be matched against the names of the files and/or folders, and is discussed in more detail below.įor a pattern to match a file or folder, the pattern’s Match and Pattern settings must match the type and name of the file/folder respectively. The second ( Match) controls the type of item that the pattern can match - files, folders, or either. The first ( Type) controls whether the pattern is responsible for including or excluding items in the results list. If a folder is not included in the results list then the files and folders within it will not be included either – even if they are matched by subsequent include patterns.Įach pattern contains three configurable settings. In particular, we recommend always starting off with a pattern that at least includes all folders. It is generally easier to start out by including everything, and then to add patterns that strip files and folders out of the results. The default filter contains a pattern (or patterns) that cause all files and folders to be included. A file or folder will not be included in the results list if it is not matched by any patterns. The bottom-most pattern that matches the file or folder will determine whether the file or folder is included or excluded from the results list. When determining whether a file or folder should be included in the results list, Merge will work through the patterns in the active filter from the top to the bottom. A filter contains any number of patterns that define which files and folders to include or exclude, based on their name and/or type. You can define as many filters as you like, but only one can be active at a time. Defining filtersįilters can be configured using the controls in the Filters options page. ![]() Merge enables you to configure filters to control the inclusion and exclusion of items in the comparison results list. When performing folder comparisons, there may be situations where you want to include or exclude items from the results list based on their type, name, or location within the folder hierarchy. ![]()
