Pattern

Read-Write String Property

Specify the name of the dynamic folder whose files you want to include or exclude in your dynamic link, or specify the name of a dynamic file that you want to include in your dynamic link.

To indicate a wild-card character, use an asterisk (*). For example, to include all .htm files, you could enter *.htm in an Include File setting. To include all files, you could enter *.*.

To refer to the root folder (the one that contains the package file) in a path, use a dot and a backslash:

.\

For example, to refer to a ReadMe.txt file in a subfolder called MyDirectory, where MyDirectory is a subfolder of the folder that contains the package, you could use the following filter:

.\MyDirectory\ReadMe.txt
