I understand what the example does, it is very much standard.
Alas, it does not touch any of the points where my use case is special:
- it enumerates all inclusions and exclusions - that is explicitely what I
cannot and do not want to do as each FD machine has different subfolders, but
all start with the same prefix
- it does not employ wildcard characters for folder names
Thank you for the example. To be honest, I did not learn anything new that
would allow me to solve my problem.
Thank you again , though, for considering my questions.
