Hi,

We want to create an aggregation with files inside the location directory,
but excluding some files. We have tried to define the scan location with
regular expression, but I think is not supported.
Then we fix it with the suffix attribute as you can see in the code bellow.

<aggregation dimName="time" type="joinExisting" recheckEvery="15m">
                                <scan
location="/data/current/opendap/observational/mooring/buoy_alboran/buoy_alboran/L1"
suffix="[0-9][0-9].nc" subdirs="true"/>
</aggregation>

But we think isn't a good solution. So, we suggest define a filter to
exclude directories and files, like inside the <datasetScan> element, inside
the <aggregation> element. Or define the scan location with regular
expression.

Thanks
