Exclude files starting with a specific name

Hello guys,

I am trying a script to download all the files generated today but exclude the files that start with "temp". I am able to get all the files today using the filemask

get -filemask=*>=today but I am not sure how to add exclude file mask to leave the files that start with "temp"

I tried get -filemask=*>=today | temp* and some other variations but not getting any success. I am missing something but not sure what. Any suggestions?

Regards,
Ram

No spaces (or wrap the mask to quotes):

Thanks for your reply. Without wrapping the filemask, the script wouldn't even run but with wrapping, I am getting this error "Missing parameter for command 'get'"

WinSCP version that I am using is 5.17.5 Build 10414

This is the code that I am using

You didn't mention batch file until now.

It should be like this then:

     "get -filemask=*>=today|temp*" ^

Or:

     "get -filemask=""*>=today | temp*""" ^

Sorry, I should have mentioned that. Thanks for your suggestions and tried both the variations with same result but your second link on "New-line Escaping" has "get *" ^ in the example. So I tried "get -filemask=*>=today|temp* *" ^ and it finally worked. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
