# PathCrawlRegex

A regular expression that specifies the folders to search for files. The connector only searches folders where:

- the full path of the folder matches the regular expression.
- the full path of all parent folders match the regular expression.

If a folder does not match the regular expression, all of the subfolders that it contains are ignored (even if those folders do match the regular expression).

Type: | String (regular expression)
Default: |
Required: | No
Configuration Section: | TaskName or FetchTasks
Example: | The following regular expression matches `/` and `/folder/`, so only the root folder and `/folder/` are searched for files. The subfolders of `/folder/`, and other subfolders of the root folder, are not searched because their full path does not match the regular expression. `PathCrawlRegex=\/(folder\/)?`
