# File Lists

Top Previous Next

File Lists indicate whether or not a criteria value can be loaded from a text file. Example: File name list If the File name criteria allows file lists (the default setting) then instead of specifying: *.c;*.cpp;*.h;*.hpp;*.inl;*.res;*.rc the user could specify:

=C:\FileLists\CodeFiles.txt

with CodeFiles.txt containing something like:

*.c

*.cpp

*.h

*.hpp

*.inl

*.res

*.rc

adding each expression on a new line.

Example: Containing text list

To search for a list of keywords from a file switch on 'Containing Text' file lists and then specify the full path to the keyword file in the 'Containing text' criteria field on the Main tab:

=C:\FileLists\Keywords.txt

with Keywords.txt containing something like:

Telephone

Email

Contact

adding each keyword on a new line.
