Feature request: Wildcard support for referencing simulation files

[stolp]

We are collecting a large amount of simulation.log files for a trend report in an ongoing process.

The current implementation requires us to add each individual log file as a separate command line parameter. It is cumbersome to build this command line and this approach may break operation system limits regarding command line lengths.

Therefore I would like to suggest to implement support for adding simulation files via wildcards.

What do you think?

Solution for this problem will be also adding parameter, which takes also directory (and all log files in it). It would be easier to implement and probably bit less errorprone.

PS: Did you try to concatenate all files into one? It is just workaround which needs some disk space, but it will make need for use only single parameter on commandline.

Hi, yes I am fine with wildcard support, the pattern can be expanded first before choosing the report type to generate. @LuboVarga concatenates all files will not generate a trend report.
