Its one folder, but with various log files in, each by date. The format specifically in my case looks like:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;MS20230515_orders.LOG&lt;br/&gt;MS20230516_orders.LOG&lt;br/&gt;MS20230517_orders.LOG&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I want to set it up so as each new days log file starts, it tails on the end of the previous day.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I tried to set the file name pattern as MS2023%%%%_orders.LOG but this didn't seem to work. Is there a way to make this work, ignoring other log files with different file names in the same folder.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Thanks&lt;br/&gt;&amp;nbsp;</description><pubDate>Wed, 17 May 2023 08:39:16 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>elock91</dc:creator></item><item><title>RE: File Name Pattern in Directory Monitoring</title><link>https://www.logviewplus.com/forum/post/1766</link><description>Hi,&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Try setting your file name pattern to MS*_orders.LOG.&amp;nbsp; Then set a user defined ignore rule to ignore files older than two days.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Hope that helps,&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Toby</description><pubDate>Wed, 17 May 2023 08:39:16 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>LogViewPlus Support</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
