Exclude Filters are used to specify which hits should be excluded, e.g. if you
only specify *robots.txt* in the files excluded field, the reports will contain all
information except those of hits made to the robots.txt file.
The wild cards * and ? can be used.
* can be used to specify a group of characters
? can be used to specify a single character.
Please note that you must use the space character to separate multiple filter
entries, e.g. *.htm* *.cgi* *.zip*
You can modify what gets included/excluded in a site profile’s database by
selecting to include/exclude hits based on (1) Files and or directories, (2) IP
Addresses and (3) Referrers.
Files and directories
You can use wildcards or specific filenames to include/exclude hits to specific
filenames to be added or not to a site profile database. You can enter the part of
a unique directory if you want to only include hits to the specific directory, for
instance if the directory name is mydir1, enter the following in the Include Files
Like Filter Field */mydir1*
The Files Like include/exclude filter includes/excludes the complete path and file
specification. This means you can specify a unique part of a directory or file to
include/exclude.
If for instance you want a site profile database to be populated with hits to the
/demo/ directory (and its sub directories), use */demo* or a unique part of the
directory in the Include Files Like filter field. If you want to show only reports on
hits to index.htm, use *index.htm*. To combine filters, separate it with a space,
e.g. *index* *default*
File filters are case insensitive so for example an exclude filter */demo* will
exclude /Demo/myfile.htm, and /demo/myfile.htm.
