SimpleFileExtractor

This tool can extract arbitrary files from FileCollections (or other FileCollection subclasses) based on standard UNIX file patterns (filenames with '*' and '?' in them).

The tool will produce a new simple FileCollection containing all the extracted files in a single level (basically, a directory with all those files).

See the help page for the parameters for more information and recommendations about how the patterns must be specified, and what kind of error handling the tool provides.

This tool comes standard as part of the CBRAIN distribution. Written by Pierre Rioux, 2021
