Hi!

I'm using a Directory list to gather files.
As a pattern I use "*".

But now I process the files already processed.
So with moveFile I prefix processed files with X.

Now I need a pattern to exclude files that start with X.

Thanks in advance.

Appended "R" to the filename (for READ) and then removed the R (well - all R's...) so I can write R* in pattern for Directory list.

I'll often use a Split Node on the output of the Directory Node:

node:Split
bretype:core::Split
editor:sortkey=562f809247cc0548
input:@40fd2c74167f1ca2/=Directory_List.40fd2c747c2b1c0a
output:@40fd2c7420761db6/=
output:@456df11556bd6bcf/=
prop:PredicateExpr=<<EOX
FileName.left(1) == "X"
EOX
editor:XY=340,330
end:Split

node:Directory_List
bretype:core::Directory List
editor:sortkey=562f80ba5f9d28b1
output:@40fd2c747c2b1c0a/=
prop:DirectoryName=C:\Users\ryeh\Desktop\
prop:Pattern=*.*
editor:XY=200,330
end:Directory_List
