Specifying Include Criteria

When you specify include criteria, you can specify either RegEx pattern or a simple pattern.

With RegEx, the search pattern can be a simple character, a fixed string, or a complex expression containing special characters describing the pattern. The pattern defined by RegEx may match one time, several times, or not at all for a given string. For patterns and examples, refer to the following page:
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/regex/Pattern.html

For information on simple pattern matching, refer to the following tables:

The following table describes the special characters you can use:

Characters	Description
?	Matches any single character. For example, "something?" collects any path that is named "something" plus any character.
*	Matches any characters up to the next forward slash (/). For example, "//something*" collects any path that has two directories, then a file or directory that starts with the name "something".
**	Matches any characters. For example, "/something/" collects any path that contains a directory named "something".
