I have written regular expression in the 'Exclude files Filter' as given in the example to exclude file extension other than jpg, jpeg and png
Regular Expression: ^.*\.(?!mp4$|jpeg$|png$)[^.]+$
Regular Expression: ^.*\.(?!txt$)[^.]+$ (It is working properly)

When I am running the task i am getting the below error:

Code: Select all

Any update on this?

I think the problem is in the | so I would split this expression into three to avoid this character.
