Using delimiters to include or exclude files

When the volume or directory delimiters are not correct, it might cause INCLUDE and EXCLUDE statements to malfunction.

A platform-specific INCLUDE or EXCLUDE statement contains syntax for everything and all files under a specific directory.

If you want to use an INCLUDE statement for all files under a specific directory, ensure that the slashes and volume delimiters are correct. If you want to include all of the files under a directory that is called home,, see the following examples:

Windows operating systemsUsing the backwards slash “\” and the volume delimiter “:”
