NCover exclusions and regular expressions

NCover exclusions and regular expressions

Hi, a few suggestions regarding exclusions and regular expressions:
(1) Specify your definition of "regular expressions", as there are minor differences between Posix, Perl, and other implementations.
(2) More examples might be handy, especially as the exact language implied by your flavor of regular expressons is not explicit.
(3) In addition to the set of exclusion specifiers, how about a mutually exclusive set of inclusion specifiers. For example, if I want to view only a few classes, it would be simpler to specify those rather than the list of all namespaces, and in some cases also the classes, to exclude.
(4) (In NCover-GUI) Provide a text editing window for entering exclusion lists; these can get rather lengthy.
Thanks. - Phil Anzel

Phil,

1) I've added an issue to our bug tracking system to add this info to the web page. Our regex uses the Perl definition.

3) Inclusion specifiers are on the 3.0 feature list

4) I've added an issue to the bug tracking system for this case.
