tFileList : can we use Regex Expression & Exclude Filemask at the same component?

I happened to have a Regex Expression (Basic settings) in my tFileList.

And then I wanted to exclude some files based on the filenames. So in the Advanced settings, I have "*Meat*" in the Exclude Filemask area so I could exclude all the files about the meat.

When I ran the job it failed, but as soon as I unchecked the Exclude Filemask, the job ran successfully.

 

Does this mean we can't use the Regex Expression & Exclude Filemask in tFileList at the same time?

Thanks!

nope, both works at same time, there must be some compilation error while you are trying to use exclude option.

 

check your java code to see if there are any red mark or warning while using exclude option.
