StarTeam checkout exclude file extension

FinalBuilder Discussion

Anyone know how to exclude certain file extensions on a StarTeam checkout action?  We have an action that checks out our entire view, (contains 20-30 different file extensions at least), so we are just doing a *.*    but I would now like to exclude certain file types from being checked out.  Is this possible ?

 

thanks,

Hi Mike,

Unfortunately, there’s no way to do this just with a StarTeam action. The best solution is probably to create a FileSet using FileSet define (Include . and then Exclude the extensions you don’t want). Then use a File Iterator to iterate the fileset and check out each file.

This will (unfortunately) be much slower than a single checkout action, but it will only check out the extensions you need.

Please let me know if you’d like more help getting this working.

Regards,

Angus
