exclude-except

Hallo,

I have the following source config :
- <sourceFilesystem area="/u03/iw-home/custom/logs" filelist="">
- <pathSpecification>
<path name="." />
- <filters>
<excludePattern regex=".*" />
<exceptPattern regex="list2" />
</filters>
</pathSpecification>
</sourceFilesystem>

My understanding was that this should deploy nothing but "list2" file ... however, I've run it several times now and it deployed nothing ... without the exclusions, it deploys everything fine. :-P

Anything I missed?

tnx

Ciao ?:-)

I think your regex for the exceptPattern may not be correct. Maybe try something like .*list2

Why wouldn't that be correct, Todd? Wouldn't saying regex="blah" in an OpenDeploy config be equivalent to saying in perl m/blah/? In other words, if it finds the string blah anywhere in the input string, it matches? Another good reason for detailed regex documentation for all of TeamSite...

Yeah, what is the regex that OpenDeploy adheres to? There are certain pattern match regex that would work in Perl that I've used in here that failed to work. :-P
And, is it possible to parameterize the regex? ;-) "$" and "^" being regex symbols. I want to make a deployment config that would exclude pattern (instead of path ... that I already have working).
tnx.

OK, I knew I shouldn't have posted due to my limited knowledge of regexes. I was thinking that the pattern would be preceded with / or something, since the file name is relative to the area.

Consider the post withdrawn. Smiley Wink

you can't get off that quickly ... you gotta help us unravel the mysterious OpenDeploy regex implemenation. ;-)

My other suggestion would be to try using an include filter instead.

But if the regex seems valid, please open a case with support.
