Check for filenames with spaces (File Monitor)

Post by Rukbunker »

Hey Oleg,

I want to trigger a task with File Monitor, but only when the filenames contain (a) space(s). They should be replaced in the task itself. I've tried a with * *.* and also this didn't work:

In the example above, it triggers on anything. What can you adivse me?

You must use the mask in quotes, like this

Code: Select all

"* *.*"
You can specify several search masks as comma-separated string. Standard comma-separated string means that if any element contains spaces, it must be enclosed in quotation marks.

Also look at my simple example. It monitors files with spaces only

Code: Select all
