Excluding generated WebHelp files from Multi-file Find

[NL_Derek-56V59O]

I commonly use Edit > Find and Replace in Files in RH8 with Include subfolders checked, but if I have previously generated WebHelp to the default location (MyProject\!SSL!\WebHelp) the output files are also found. Obviously I could generate WebHelp to another location but is there an easier way?

The short answer is "no". However the key to this issue is the path you specify in the "Where" field of the find and replace dialog. If the output was not generated to a sub-folder in the path, you're OK. The default is set to the project directory - which includes your \SSL\WebHelp folder.

You could use a third party tool such as FAR that allows you to exclude specified folders.
