l
Brackets: Specifies a set of supported characters, or range of characters. Only one
character from the range is accepted, making this a subset of the ? wildcard.
l
Sets: [13ab] defines support for one of these 4 characters; file[13ab].txt would pick
up file1.txt , filea.txt , but not file13.txt or filea3.txt.
l
Negative Sets: [!13ab] indicates the character should NOT be part of the set. file
[!13ab].txt would pick up file2.txt and filec.txt but not file1.txt or fileb.txt (nor would
it pick up file13.txt or filea3.txt).
l
Ranges: [1-5] , [a-d] define ranges between the characters. file[1-5].txt would pick
up file1.txt and file4.txt but not file6.txt or file13.txt.
l
Negative Ranges: Negative ranges such as [!2-4] are also possible.
Note
File names containing brackets can be a hassle when attempting to capture them with a
mask and using sets or ranges. You can capture a set that contains an opening bracket (
[[] ) , but not a closing bracket as the closing bracket always ends the set or range. There
is no escape character available in masks.
Selecting a resource file in task properties
The Properties dialog of some Action, Create Content and Output tasks lets you select a file.
Depending on where the selection list appears you will have access to the Connect Resources
("Connect resources" on page40), all PlanetPress Design documents ("PlanetPress Design
documents" on page45) or only to the PlanetPress Design documents installed on a printer
queue.
In most cases, you have three options:
l You can choose a specific file from the list of installed documents (see "Workflow
Configuration resource files" on page39); these will be either Connect resources, or
PlanetPress Design documents, depending on the task.
l You can choose a variable file (see below).
l You can choose not to use any document (only in certain cases). If an Output task was
originally designed to merge a PlanetPress Design document with data, this means no
document is merged with the data and the job file is sent as is.
