Further information
1. The
filters argument consists in a list of patterns separated by the symbol
";". A pattern is composed of a path (using the usual operating system conventions) which last component may include wildcard characters
"*" (any text of any length),
"?" (any single character) and
"|" (logical "or"). For instance
"bin/*.exe;models/*.mos|*.dat" will select all files with extension
".exe" in the
"bin" directory as well as files with extension
".mos" and
".dat" in the
"models" directory.
2. File name matching is achieved using function
pathmatch and differences may be observed depending on the operating system (
e.g. file names are case sensitive under Posix systems but not under Windows).
