Excluding Specific Files from the Comparison Report

To exclude specific files from the comparison report:

  1. In the iFIX WorkSpace, double-click Application Validator in the system tree. The Application Validator opens.
  2. On the Tools menu, click Options. The Application Validator Options dialog box appears.
  3. From the Exclusion List tab, enter the files that you want to exclude from the comparison. For each entry:
    1. In the edit box, enter the file or file name mask. For file name masks, you can use standard Windows wildcard characters. For instance, use the * symbol to represent multiple unknown characters in a file name. Use the ? symbol for a single unknown character in a file name.
    2. Click Add to add the file to the file exclusion list.

For example, if you do not want to include log files in your comparison, you would add *.log to the file exclusion list.

NOTE: Do not include the path information with the file name. For example, c:\*.log is not a valid entry in the exclusion list.

  1. Click OK.
