Hi,

Go to your selection list and to the text view...you can include/exclude files based on file extensions from there.

...the OP states he wants this done on 1 job...not globally!

[muhammadjafar]

can u please tell me the syntax/format that how to write multiple extension in single line please.

[CraigV]

I used: *.mp3;*.wav;*.mpg etc.

[muhammadjafar]

I use these entries but no luck yet

E:/TESTFOLDER\*.* /SUBDIR

E:/testfolder \*.mp3;*.flv;*.jpg etc /SUBDIR /EXCLUDE

if i enter these extensions one by one then its works fine

what you say now

[muhammadjafar]

Still waiting for any needfull advise

Today's a public holiday and yesterday saw the weekend end so I won't/don't go on much

If it works for you, then do so, otherwise go for the global exclusions for all jobs (and as mentioned above):

its not works "E:/testfolder \*.mp3;*.flv;*.jpg etc /SUBDIR /EXCLUDE" in a single line/entry.If i use a single line single entry then it works for me.

As Craig V has stated if putting each extension on it's own line works then do that instead of trying to get them all on one line BTW I would not mix up \ and / characters in the file paths, use \ in the file/folder path and use / only before the subdir and exclude statements Also (and I have not tested this) but you might find E:\testfolder\*.mp3;E:\testfolder\*.flv;E:\testfolder\*.jpg /SUBDIR /EXCLUDE works

Thanks very much for the clarification Colin :)
