Features

• Search for files or folder in your workspace by entering a pattern and exclusion pattern.

5. Enter the Exclude for the file names or folder names if you want to exclude. If IncludeFolder is checked, folder names are also exclude.
6. Click the Exec button to start the search.
7. The search results will be displayed.
