# PathCrawlRegex

A Perl-compatible regular expression that specifies the folders to search for files. The connector only searches folders that meet all of the following criteria:

- the folder is within the location specified by `DirectoryPathCSVs`
- the full path of the folder matches the regular expression
- the full path of all parent folders (up to the folder specified by `DirectoryPathCSVs`) 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: | You can use numbered parameters: `PathCrawlRegex0=C:\\files\\folder\\.* PathCrawlRegex1=C:\\files\\folder2\\.*`
