| For File Nodes, specifically FileInput, is there any way to use a regex or something in the pattern to exclude files that start with a character? Like lets say I wanted to pickup all files except ones that start with an underscore (_). Is there a way to do this with the pattern matching field? |

| That's what I thought. My problem is that if I pull * files, it seems like sometimes it grabs a file before I want it to. I know I can build a file elsewhere and then push it over, but are there any other patterns I can follow? I was hoping I could build the file with an underscore and then remove it, but that is obviously not possible. |

Yes, use a specific letter in the first character for the match pattern, 'F*.ZIP', then prepend your temp files with any other character '_' underscore, then rename the file to something that starts with 'F' when your ready for broker to read it.

The WMBv8 FileInput node provides a "File exclusion pattern" property, for exactly that purpose: to specify a pattern for file names to exclude from processing. |

Good to hear that the issue has been addressed. Bummer that we are nowhere near being on mb8  |
