Include and exclude files and folders

You can use wildcard expressions to specify files to be excluded and/or included when you run the update, deliver, and merge operations.

You can use the following wildcard characters in expressions:

Character	Description
*	Matches a complete folder tree, or a file anywhere in the folder tree.
?	Matches any single character.
|	Joins or concatenates multiple expressions.

Examples of exclusion filters:

build/bar.obj|build/bar.exe	Explicitly excludes the files bar.obj and bar.exe in the folder build.
obj/*	Excludes all files and subfolders recursively beneath the folder obj.
*.obj|*.exe	Excludes all files with the extension .obj and .exe.
build/*.obj|build/*.exe	Excludes files with the extension .obj and .exe in the build folder and its subfolders.
build/logs	Excludes the folder build/logs.
