How do I exclude a folder.

How do I exclude a sub folder and all files within this folder when using the Pack Files task.
In the exclude mask field I tried entering the full path to a sub folder under the folder I was packing but it still packed files in that folder.
Example:
Files to Zip: c:\temp\*.*
Exclude Mask: c:\temp\folder1\*.*
c:\temp\folder1 contains more sub folders and files but the task seems to get all of these folders and files and zip them as well.
How do I prevent any file or folder in c:\temp\folder1 from being zipped?
What is the exclude mask?

By using the "exclude mask" option, you can tell the action what files you don't want to pack.
Example:
*.bak
*.txt, test??.*
Regarding how to exclude entire subfolders - we've put this idea to our TO-DO list.

You may specify in "
Exclude masks" masks with folders separated by commas. Like this:
"c:\temp\folder1\*.*","c:\temp\folder2\*.*"
For example see the Task below:

Thanks for the feedback.
I have gone with using a custom built RoboTask that uses the WinRAR command line application to compress files.
I have posted this RoboTask earlier on the forum.
