# File Selection

You can use the parameters in this section to retrieve specific files from the file system.

A file is retrieved only if it passes all of the criteria that you set.

For example, if you set `DirectoryFileMatch=*.doc`, and `DirectoryFileModifiedSince=2012-JAN-01 00:00:01`, the connector retrieves all `.doc` files modified since 01 January 2012 (files that pass both parameters). The connector does not retrieve all `*.doc` files and all files modified since 01 January 2012.
