Claude Warren commented on RAT-259:
-----------------------------------

[~potiuk] 

Would you please download the latest RAT-0.17-SNAPSHOT and verify that it meets 
your requirements.

There are a number of changes to the include/exclude options  Please run 
"–help" for a list of all the various include/exclude options and parameters 
available for commands.  For the simplest case I think the following command 
line options will suffice:
 * --input-exclude "**"
 * --input-include-file <file with file name to scan>

Please let me know if this meets your requirements so that I can close this 
issue.

>             Project: Apache Rat
>          Issue Type: Sub-task
>          Components: Client - cli
>    Affects Versions: 0.13
>            Reporter: Philipp Ottlinger
>            Assignee: Claude Warren
>            Priority: Major

>  Remaining Estimate: 0h

> After talks at ApacheCon 2019 in Berlin [~higrys][~potiuk] asked for a 
> possibility to specify the files that need to be scanned.
> This could be added as a new CLI option that specifies a file to read from.
> Each line will contain one file that RAT scans with its default configuration 
> (as the current CLI scan does).
> Thus a possible run would be:
> {code}
> java -jar rat.jar -scan myfiles.txt
> {code}
> "-scan" will be an exclusive option, thus all other existing
> exclusions options will not be allowed, when this option is used.
> myfile.txt may contain comments (starting with "#") or empty lines, all else 
> will be treated as files.
