Exclude all files from folder for plato metric

Question

I'm deploy my webapp at a windows maschine (non POSIX command line) and I'm generating JS metric with Plato.

My Question is how can I exclude all files from a given folder that contains subfolders via regular expressions with plato.js. I tried this command for excluding all minified JS Libs:

$ plato -x "^js[a-zA-Z0-9-.\/]*.?js" -r -d report src/app/

All JS files of src/app/js/**/*.js are not excluded.

I test my regex with rubular: http://rubular.com/r/zbTsv1nIWY (fix underscore issue is optional)

Can somebody help me please?

Answer 1

Remember to escape (.) because you want to match it literally.

i dunno why have you left out the _ (underscore) but an optional solution can be something like this :

^js\/(.*)\.js$

folder name starting with js and file name ending with .js

and as you are saying another solution can be to just include the _

^js[a-zA-Z0-9-\.\/_]*.?js
