Claude Warren commented on RAT-259:
-----------------------------------
This will be achievable with pull #311 but needs to be documented
The way to do this is to add the following command line options:
* --input-exclude "**"
* --input-include-file <file listing names of files to scan relative to the
scan root directory>
The first line should ignore all files in the scan root directory.
the second line should read the list of files to include and override the
exclusion for those files.
> Allow configuration of files to be scanned for CLI module

> Key: RAT-259
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAT-259
> Project: Apache Rat
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: Client - cli
> Affects Versions: 0.13
> Reporter: Philipp Ottlinger
> Priority: Major
> Time Spent: 10m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> After talks at ApacheCon 2019 in Berlin [~higrys][~potiuk] asked for a
> possibility to specify the files that need to be scanned.
> This could be added as a new CLI option that specifies a file to read from.
> Each line will contain one file that RAT scans with its default configuration
> (as the current CLI scan does).
> Thus a possible run would be:
> {code}
> java -jar rat.jar -scan myfiles.txt
> {code}
> "-scan" will be an exclusive option, thus all other existing
> exclusions options will not be allowed, when this option is used.
> myfile.txt may contain comments (starting with "#") or empty lines, all else
> will be treated as files.
