WORKING WITH FILE MASKS
To simplify the life you may organize uploaded files in the groups (folders) using File Masks.
For example files
ac_h0_mfi_20090828_v05.cdf; ac_h0_mfi_20090829_v05.cdf; ac_h0_mfi_20090830_v05.cdf
could be associated with file masks
ac_h0_mfi_200908*cdf OR ac_h0_mfi_2009 OR ac_h0_mfi_....etc...
Organization of your files into "mask" folders is
made automatically if you introduce a file mask while defining a parameter.
Each file could belong to ONE file mask only. If you create a mask more common than existing before
all files that fit new mask will be associated with the new mask and old association will be destroyed.
In the above example mask ac_h0_mfi_ is more common than ac_h0_mfi_2009 and
ac_h0_mfi_200908 and they will be (where possible) replaced by ac_h0_mfi_.
Several simple rules:
- Mask could include ONE and ONLY ONE "*" symbol
- Mask should not be shorter than 5 letters
- Mask should not start with "*"
- It is prohibited to replace more common mask by less common one. In the above example you cannot
replace ac_h0_mfi_ with ac_h0_mfi_2009 or ac_h0_mfi_200908.
- Association of different types of files with one mask (ac_h1_mfi..., ac_h2_mfi...,
ac_h2_mfi => ac_h) could produce an error.
