FileBoolean - ImportListFromFile
Select the items (files, directories) that are listed in the listfile.
- The STRING is the full path to an item on disk.
- The listfile is a flat text file, Unicode, UTF-8, or ASCII.
- The listfile must contain a list of full paths, 1 path per text line. For example:
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\NTOSKRNL.EXE
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\PSHED.DLL
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\KDCOM.DLL
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CLFS.SYS |
- Paths that do not exist (or invalid paths) are quietly ignored.
- Folders are entities by themselves. If the listfile contains the name of a folder
then only the folder will be selected, not the items in that folder or subfolders.
- If the listfile contains the name of an item that has already been processed (placed
in a previous zone) then the item will not be selected (ignored).
- This is a fileboolean function and it only selects items. The FileActions will process
the selected items, for example sort by name. The
SortByImportSequence
fileaction will order the items in the same sequence in which they are listed in
the listfile.
