ExcludedFiles Property

A list of messages to exclude.

Data Type

Default Value

Remarks

This property specifies messages that should be excluded when compressing or extracting a message. When either compression or extraction occurs, each message will be compared to ExcludedFiles, and each message that matches will be excluded.

This property may be set to one or more message names. These message names may be specified with or without a path, and with or without wildcards. If a path is specified, messages in the indicated extraction directory will be excluded. If no path is specified but wildcards are, matching messages in all directories will be excluded. If a single message name without a path is specified, it must correspond exactly to the appropriate value of a valid message name.

Directories should end with a slash ("/" or "\", as appropriate.) If a directory is specified, all files and subdirectories in the specified directory will be excluded during extraction.

A pipe character ("|") should be used to separate multiple message or directory names.

If the property is set to the empty string, no messages will be excluded.
