Size filter

[LPrendergast]

I have a set the may be empty (0 bytes) and I am trying to use the size filter to exclude them from FTP. However some files which are small (617 bytes), but technically it is 0KB. The size filter only allows KB, MB and GB. Is there a way around this limitation?

The size filter values may optionally be suffixed with KB, MB or GB. A numeric value without any suffix will be treated as number of bytes. So, a value of 1 means 1 byte. If you want to exclude all files with zero bytes, your size filter should be set up with From and To set to zero. Below is a sample project that prints the list of files that are not empty in the local folder D:\temp:

Code: Select all

<project name="Size Filter Test" mainModule="Main" version="1.0">
   <description></description>

   <module name="Main">

      <createFileList fileListVariable="nonEmptyFiles">
         <fileset dir="D:\temp">
            <sizeFilter>
               <exclude from="0" to="0" />
            </sizeFilter>
         </fileset>
      </createFileList>

      <print>
         <![CDATA[${nonEmptyFiles}]]>
      </print>

   </module>

</project>


The same result can be achieved with an inclusion filter too, by setting From size to 1 and leaving the To size blank (no limit). Below is another project to demonstrate this:

Code: Select all

<project name="Size Filter Test" mainModule="Main" version="1.0">
   <description></description>

   <module name="Main">

      <createFileList fileListVariable="nonEmptyFiles">
         <fileset dir="D:\temp">
            <sizeFilter>
               <include from="1" />
            </sizeFilter>
         </fileset>
      </createFileList>

      <print>
         <![CDATA[${nonEmptyFiles}]]>
      </print>

   </module>

</project>
