Hello,

You use regex expressions in Windows product - it's strange because it have UNIX/Linux nature...
It's very inconvenient for non-UNIX guys to construct expressions with regex - is there simple doc which translate Window/DOS terms to regex?

For instance I need to protect all files *.mpg and *.avi - why I can't use just *.mpg | *.avi? According to help I have to use @.*\.(mpg|avi) ? If yes, please describe in simple words why we use .*\.( here

Thank you!

One more question please - may I use dir name like /*/*/test ?
I hope * mean any symbols?

Sorry, It's very hard to use documentstion

Thank you!

Thank you, Yaroslav.
Sorry, it's hard to understand this reference...

Could you please tell me how can I protect all HTM in /members folder? 1) without subfolders and 2) with subfolders

Thanks

Yaroslav, thanks
could you please clarify .* in case 2?

Why you use dot?
"The dot character "." matches any single character except null character and newline character."

And what is *? If it's any chars (as in Windows), why we need in dot?

Thank you

It is simpler for me to write it in regular expressions:
1) @/members/[^/]+\.htm
2) @/members/.*\.htm
