Scope language syntax reference

• To add a single file, use a filename (for example, MyDir/MyFile.txt)

• To add all the files in a directory without subdirectories, use an asterisk after a slash (for example: file:src/main/myDir/*)

• To add all the files in a directory with subdirectories, use an asterisk after a double slash (for example, file:src/main/myDir//*)

When you define scopes, you can use logical operators:

&& for AND
|| for OR
! for NOT

Also, you can use parentheses to join logical operators into groups. For example, the following scope includes either <a> and <c>, or <b> and <c>:

(<a>||<b>)&&<c>

You can make a new scope from several existing scopes. In this case, you can reference the existing scopes by using $ $MyScope.

For example, the $Scope1||$Scope2 pattern places in a scope all files from Scope1 and Scope2.

Scopes are defined in the Scopes dialog in the following ways:

Manually

In the Pattern field, specify file masks. Alternatively, click the Expand button () and type the pattern in the editor.

Using the Mouse Pointer

In the tree view, select files and directories. To include or exclude files and directories, use the following buttons: Include, Include Recursively, Exclude, and Exclude Recursively. For more information about the buttons, refer to Define a new scope.

When you click the buttons, DataGrip creates an expression and displays it in the Pattern field.
