Task properties
General Tab
l
Folder list: Enter the full path of the folder from which the input files are to be taken.
l
Masks: Enter a single or multiple file names or use file name masks. See "Masks" on
page302.
l
Treat as regular expressions: When ticked, the contents of the Mask field are
deemed to be a regular expression . You can specify multiple masks based on
regular expressions, separating the regular expressions by a semicolon.
The checkbox is not ticked by default. Please refer to Regular Expressions for more
information.
Note
No Variable Data can be used inside this field if the Treat as regular expressions
option is ticked. The percent sign, the curly brackets and the period are all key
elements of the RegEx syntax, therefore they cannot be mixed and matched with
Workflow variable data syntax (e.g. %1, ${global.myvar}, etc.). Also, there is no
validation of the RegEx being specified.
l
Sort files by: Select a given sorting method to prompt PlanetPress Workflow to sort the
files in the source folder before taking them (and thus to take them in a specific order).
Select None to let PlanetPress Workflow take the files without sorting them first.
l
Sort order: If you selected a sorting method in the Sort files by box, select the order in
which you want the files to be sorted.
l
Use archive attribute: Select to turn on the archive attribute of the data files found in the
source folder and to leave them in their original location (i.e. to take copies of the source
files). Note that PlanetPress Workflow never takes source files that have their archive
attribute turned on (so the source files will not be taken again and again). When this
option is turned off, PlanetPress Workflow removes data files from the source location.
l
Capture files in subfolders: Select to capture files from child folders of the source folder
as well.
l
Sort directories first: If you selected a sorting method in the Sort files by box, and if you
want the folders present in the source folder to be sorted first, select this option. When this
