Skipping Queue Items

JuvY · 03-10-2002, 05:01 PM

OK here's my problem...

Say I have a dir with files, and in that dir I execute the command LIST -alF... then the dirs "." and ".." will show up (on UNIX at least) so I was wondering, is it possible to auto. skips specific names of items you queue?

I was thinking perhaps Skip List does that.. but I tried messing around with it and it didn't work (actually what is the skip list for?)

Thanks for any replies

It's meant for just the thing you ask for, however list -a will always list . and ... Unless I'm mistaken it won't cause more than a mild annoyance, because even though you marked everything, it still won't be added to the actual queue. If I'm wrong, you can try to add the two to the skiplist as single entries.

Usually you would add entries such as *sample* to have it skip any file or directory that contains the word "sample".

Hehe I see... it's working now... thanks

Only one question... is it possible to enable the skipping on dirs that are EXACTLY something rather than all dirs that CONTAIN the chars I added?

Thanks again

Yes, just leave out the *s. Adding sample would skip items named sample.

you shouldnt see any "." or ".." folders, FlashFXP filters them out.

I'm not familar with the "F" in LIST -alF though so maybe that is conflicting with the normal behavior.
