Exclusion filter for all subdirectories

Post by MatthewL »

I am currently using Exam Diff Pro v3.3 and I am wondering if it is possible to prevent all subdirectories from being compared and compare only the files contained within a folder during a diff? I have recursion switched off however the existence of the sub directory still seems to be tested.

For example, I can use /fx:subdir to exclude the subdirectory 'subdir' but I do not want to explicity exclude every single subdirectory.

If I use /fx:* this excludes all files and folders, but I need the files to be compared

I would have thought that /fi:*.* would do this, but apparently not.

Any suggestions?

No, there's way to do this. The closest you can get is to use "No recursion". Directories will still be listed but they won't be compared. The only other way is to individually exclude all subdirectories, perhaps using some common prefix or suffix.

BTW, in Windows * and *.* wildcards produce same output.
