FileSelect

VolumeActions - FileSelect

The "FileSelect" keyword is the beginning of a FileSelect-FileActions-FileEnd structure, and is used inside the  VolumeActions to select one or more items (files, directories) with the  FileBoolean, create a zone for those items, and then perform the  FileActions on the items.

• There will usually be more than one FileSelect-FileActions-FileEnd structure inside a VolumeAction. This will create multiple zones, each zone with it's own items. Items will be placed in the first possible zone, in other words, if an item has been selected by a FileBoolean then it will automatically not be selected by the next FileBooleans.
• Files that are selected with the global  ExcludeFiles setting are automatically excluded and will not be processed by FileSelect statements.
