Dirhtml Help - Folders, Files

ControlDescription
Folder The root folder to build html file(s) from (F4).  If the folder is ".", the current directory is used as the root folder (only useful when building via batch files).
File Specification Files to include as links in generated html files.   Multiple file types can be included by separating them with semicolons.
Output File The name and location of the html file(s) to be generated.   If the folder is not same as the folder being searched, Fully qualified path to links must be enabled for links to be functional.
Filenames Include    Patterns that filenames must match, separated by semicolons.
Filenames Exclude Patterns that filenames can't match, separated by semicolons.   If a prospective link matches both the include and exclude strings, it won't be in generated html file(s).
Title The html <title> of generated pages.   The searched folder can be inserted into the title by using the %%DIR or %%FOLDER script variables.
Script The script used to generate file(s) (F5).   Different scripts are used when building a framed site.
Skipped Folders    Patterns that folders can't match, separated by semicolons.
Folders Include Patterns that subfolders of the root folder must match for their files to be included in generated files
Note: Matches are only tested against child folders of processed folders, so if the pattern is *test*, the folder \root\testing and all its child folders will be included, but the folder \root\child\testing\ and its children will not (the folder "child" having not been processed).
Process files in the root   
folder when there are
included folders 
If selected, files in the root folder will be included in generated files when there are one or more strings in Folders Include

Pattern matching notes:

Clicking an "Add" button adds the string in the associated edit box to its drop down list.  Clicking delete while a drop down list is active removes the selected string from the list.
