Conditions

These two conditions contain a list of conditions that must be true for the rule to take action. The top condition in a rule must be one of these (or the All Files condition), and all other conditions you set up must be contained in these.

All of the following will be true if all conditions in the list are true, and false if at least a single condition is false. This is the same as putting "and" between each condition.

In the example here, the "All of the following" condition will only match a file called "manual.pdf"

Any of the following will be true if at least one condition in the list is true, and false if all conditions are false. This is the same as putting "or" between each condition.

In the example here the rule will match all files called "manual" (regardless of the extension) as well as all pdf files.

Note that you can nest these lists. A all/any of the following list can contain another all/any of the following, to make complex logical setups possible.

File Name

Examines the name of the file, without path and extension:

c:\important documents\letter.docx

File Extension

Examines the extension of the file:

c:\important documents\letter.docx

File Path

Examines the full path of the file:

c:\important documents\letter.docx

Folder path

Examines the path of the folder containing the file:

c:\important documents\letter.docx

This variable is useful if you need to exclude certain subfolders when using include subfolders. Create a folder path does not contain 'important documents' condition to skip any file in that folder and subfolders. Create a folder path is not 'c:\important documents\' condition to exclude exactly that folder, but not sub folders. See an example here.

All conditions that examine text have the same options.

Search type dropdown

This dropdown specifies how File Juggler should search in the text it is examining.

It contains the following options:

Is: An exact match. To match "a hard days night" you must type that sentence exactly.

Is not: "a hard days night" will match all text except exactly that sentence.

Contains: A partial match. If you type "night" you will match "a hard days night" and "nightmare on elm street".

Does not contain: "nightmare" will match anything except text that contains that word. Matches "a hard days night", but not "nightmare on elm street"

Is nothing: matches empty text.

The search is case-insentitive. So "A Hard Days Night" will match "a hard days NIGHT".

Search content dropdown

This dropdown selects the kind of content you want to look for.

You can select between text where you can type any text or any of the available variables.

If you select the variable types date, word in list, word in dictionary, regular expression or pattern you will create a new variable and be prompted to configure it.

If you select Other... you will get a list of existing variables you have created.

Examines the creation date and modification date of files.

So in practice 1Gb files are deleted after 1 week, 30 MB files are deleted after 3 weeks and smaller files are left.

Note the distinction between Any of the following and All of the following:

Any of the following is like a list of conditions with "or" between them, all the following is like a list of conditions with "and" between them.
