Comments

The MatchFileRegexp property defines the regular expression a file name has to match in order to be added to the control.

The regular expressions supported by MatchFileRegexp and MatchFolderRegexp are Perl compatible. For detailed information about Perl regular expressions, visit http://perldoc.perl.org/perlre.html.

Files that are part of the file system (SftDirectoryFolder.IsFile is True) must match the regular expression defined using the MatchFileRegexp or MatchFile properties to be displayed by the SftDirectory control. Folders, links, etc. are not tested against the defined pattern. Folders that are part of the file system must match the pattern defined using the MatchFolder or MatchFolderRegexp properties.

The MatchFile property is identical to the MatchFileRegExp property, but supports a wildcard pattern instead of Perl regular expressions. If the MatchFile property defines a pattern, the MatchFileRegexp property is ignored.

If the MatchFile and MatchFileRegexp properties are empty (empty string), all files are displayed by the SftDirectory control.
