Hello,

i want to add an File EXCLUDE pattern in a filelist via \_script\_ (VB script).

I didn´t get it to define the ExcludePattern and the ifbFileSetPatternList

Can anyone post a code snippet please.

I want to add a simple exclude pattern like "C:\test\*.tmp" to my fileset, but i need to do it via vb script.

&nbsp;

Thx for any help
