Excluding files

If you want to exclude particular files or folder from being reverse engineered, you can use the ReverseEngineering::Main::ExcludeFilesMatching property. You can assign one or more comma‑separated wildcard expressions to this property. The files or folders that are matched by using these wildcard expressions are not reverse engineered.

About this task

Note: This property affects only the navigation tree of the Reverse Engineering window.

With the ExcludeFilesMatching property set to res*, the files or folders that match with this wildcard expression is excluded from the list of files that are to be reverse engineered. When you open the Reverse Engineering tool (Tools > Reverse Engineering), you can see the files that didn't match with the wildcard expression that is res* in the Select Files box in the Reverse Engineering window shows. The file appearing in the Reverse Engineering window is then reverse engineered. .
