Issue/Introduction

Can I use regex pattern in the directory?

Environment

DX UIM 20.4.x / 23.4.x

Dirscan probe any version 

Resolution

You cannot put it in the directory but you can create a double negative entry in the exclude directories using regex that will generally accomplish the same thing.

Example:

I have directories ICT_EDIT01-09 that I want to monitor under  G:\Retail_apps\AUDITWORKS.

The setup would look something like this:

Directory: G:\Retail_apps\AUDITWORKS  
Pattern: .error|.bad 
Recurse into subdirectories -> Checked 
Exclude directories matching pattern ->  /^(?!ICT_EDIT0*).*$/

Additional Information

Since I am using a regex that is 'exclusionary in the exclude directories field,' it will actually include that pattern to be used.
