  skipfolders problem Reply Contact Hi, I had been using the -skip successfully until just recently. It appears that if I specify a folder to be skipped called 'Bin', and there are other folders that start with 'Bin', such as 'Bins', every folder that starts with 'Bin' is skipped.  This seems to be happening anytime a folder's name that was specified in -skip is also the beginning of another folder name. Is there additional syntax to use so that it only skips folders with the exact same name?

  Re: skipfolders problem Reply Contact Hi Bruno23. Value of absolutePath is interpreted as a regular expression and skip rule will skip any path which has a match of this regular expression. If you want to skip folders which are named Bin only, you might want to specify absolutePath as \\bin$. $ will match with end of string and \\ will make sure its a separate folder. Let me know if this doesn't work. Kanwal
