I figured out part of the problem. The ".+" should indicate that we want 1 or more characters, but including it in the expression prevents the exception for working at all. Thank goodness for Test files. I found an example Test file that showed using the "include" and "exclude" parameters. I noticed that the expression the Test file used to include any file that ended in txt was ".*txt". Since I actually wanted any files that have an extension of ".log" I changed my expression to ".*\.log" and it worked.
I'm still not sure why the ".+" didn't work. bbuzzard wrote: > > I have a drop folder that contains files with many different extensions. > I would like to route files with a particular extension into a queue.
