2Re: Reviewed code reviewed again

Call me crazy, but i would rather use a simple:

print OUT "For unique files in OldInventory.txt:
IGNORING FILES WITH Tmp OR Temp IN PATHNAME.
IGNORING FILES IN THE RECYCLE BIN.
IGNORING ALL HISTORY FILES.
LOWERCASING ALL FILE AND PATHNAMES BEFORE COMPARING.
";
[download]

for something as simple as that. But i would rather maintain your example than multiple print lines any day of the week. ;)

Thanks jeffa, and you're right. The production version(s) of this code have many more rules and are much more complicated. Also, I frequently get requests to modify the exclusion rules. I hope that my audience actually uses this code-- in which case they will want to experiment with their own regexes and I did want to make it easy to hack the output, too. Thanks for the comment!
