Square Brackets in File Event Definitions in Redwood BPA 9.0.17.1

[Dallas1]

Hi,

I am trying to use square brackets to denote sets for wildcard matching filenames, as described on page 482 of the BPA Admin Guide v9 for Version 9.0.12.1.

The manual claims "A filename is a wildcard pattern if it contains one of the characters ?, * or [."

Below that, it describes how to use the character classes, for example [abc]123.txt should match a123.txt, b123.txt and c123.txt, but not d123.txt, or [0-9] should match any digit.

I've tried using these in file events in BPA 9.0.17.1, but the file events are not triggering, while other wildcard patterns containing ? and * are working fine.

Has anyone else tried using [ and ] for wildcard matches? Any issues?
