Combine recursive listing with excluded code

[Paul_Hossler]

However, I just thought of something. What if I produce a list of files and folders for a parent directory in run 1 but want to exclude a folder path AFTER run 1 for run 2 and shorten the results? Would I just need to add another code or can I extend the above code?

Using my folder structure I made 4 runs

1. D:\Test with no Excludes - gave row 2 - 104 on 'Files'

2. D:\Test2 with no Excludes - gave row 105 - 206 on 'Files'

3. D:\Test with no Excludes (same as run #1) - added the lines 207 - 309 when recursion, but then deleted them as dups from run #1

4. D:\Test with Excludes - added the lines 207 - 271 when recursion, but then deleted them as dups from run #1


Now ....

Are you saying that you want to always (a) remove duplicate PATHs from the entire list after each run, or (b) duplicate PARENT FOLDERs from the entire list after each run, or (c) something else?

(a) will delete duplicate FILES and (b) will delete duplicate folders and all the files in the folder from the list


Right now, only the new appended lines are check for dups
