Handle File List - big problem

[NewsArchive]

Hi Friedrich,

I was going to use the Handle File Listing to build a file list and copy it.
I noticed that there was one file "*.lic" that never found anything even
though there was one file with .Lic extension.

After some testing I've come to the conclusion that the "Path Name" IS CASE
SENSITIVE if there are wildcard specified:

*.tps will NOT find *.Tps or *.TPS - ONLY *.tps
*.Tps will NOT find *.tps or *.TPS - ONLY *.Tps

This is a HUGE problem for me and I'm not sure how the heck I can work
around this except writing this in Clarion and calling it from the install:(

Hi Arnór,

Yes, it's definitely case-sensitive in SB6. Item in review.

Just checked this and in the latest internal SB7 beta it's not
case-sensitive. So there must be something in the SB6 runtime that causes
this.

Right now I've turned this copy process upside down so that I'm copying
everything with *.* and then deleting any file wildcards that don't belong
in the data folder such as *.exe, *.dll etc. etc.

It would be really cool to have a "Delete multiple wildcards" option where
you specified the folder and then a semicolon separated file specs such as:

*.exe; *.dll; *.$$$; myfile.xxx

etc. Food for thought for SB7:)

That's a good idea, but not easy to develop for the SetupBuilder runtime.

In the SetupBuilder IDE, the above include and exclude lists (e.g. *.exe;
*.dll; *.$$$; myfile.xxx) can be handled by the compiler. It's developed in
Clarion and we can use a QUEUE to do it. The setup runtime is not Clarion
code and so we can't use this method (yet).
