How to include just one file from a subdirectory

[Evanshion]

Hi all, I have this structure:
Main application

• SAM_SOCKET (that I have to add with all subfolders)
  • Subfolder1
  • subfolder2
  • ...
  • windows/packets/X (that I have to add and contains several file but I need just one)

I did my setup this way, how to get just the interested file keeping the structure?

import sys
import os
import cx_Freeze 



executables = [cx_Freeze.Executable("voicechecker.py", icon="Cefla.ico", target_name="VoiceAssistant.exe")]

include_files = ["img/", "Languages/", "Reports/", "SAM_SOCKET/", "Voices/", "Cefla.ico", "config.ini", "VoiceChecker.bat",
    ("SAM_SOCKET/windows/packets/9766LCEN_LangCore_windows_1_0_0.dat", "SAM_SOCKET/windows/packets/9766LCEN_LangCore_windows_1_0_0.dat")
    ]

build_exe_options = {"excludes": ["PyQt5", "PyQt6", "PyInstaller", "scipy", "SAM_SOCKET/windows/packets"],
                     "optimize": 1,
                     "include_files": include_files
                     }

cx_Freeze.setup(
    name = "Cefla Voice Assistant",
    options = {"build_exe": build_exe_options},
    author = "Giuseppe Ieno: giuseppe.ieno.ext@cefla.it",
    version = "1.0",
    description = "Tool for automated testing for Cefla vocal commands (Vivoka)",
    executables = executables
)

("SAM_SOCKET/windows/packets/9766LCEN_LangCore_windows_1_0_0.dat", "SAM_SOCKET/windows/packets/9766LCEN_LangCore_windows_1_0_0.dat")

This line is correct, but a previous inclusion of "SAM_SOCKET/" includes all files below.
The excludes option is incorrect, it excludes modules, so, if "SAM_SOCKET/windows/packets" is a module or package, it should be "SAM_SOCKET.windows.packets"

mhh...I tried as you suggested, but I continue to see, in the subfolder /SAM_SOCKET/windows/packets a lot of files and not just the one I want...
My idea was to add manually the file I want and exclude then the folder, what I'm doing bad?

`executables = [cx_Freeze.Executable("voicechecker.py", icon="Cefla.ico", target_name="VoiceAssistant.exe")]

include_files = ["img/", "Languages/", "Reports/", "SAM_SOCKET/", "Voices/", "Cefla.ico", "config.ini", "VoiceChecker.bat",
("SAM_SOCKET/windows/packets/9766LCEN_LangCore_windows_1_0_0.dat", "SAM_SOCKET/windows/packets/9766LCEN_LangCore_windows_1_0_0.dat")
]

build_exe_options = {"excludes": ["PyQt5", "PyQt6", "PyInstaller", "scipy", "SAM_SOCKET.windows.packets"],
"optimize": 1,
"include_files": include_files
}

cx_Freeze.setup(
name = "Cefla Voice Assistant",
options = {"build_exe": build_exe_options},
author = "Giuseppe Ieno: giuseppe.ieno.ext@cefla.it",
version = "1.0",
description = "Tool for automated testing for Cefla vocal commands (Vivoka)",
executables = executables
)
`

Observe "previous inclusion of "SAM_SOCKET/" includes all files below."
And if "SAM_SOCKET/windows/packets" is a module

Probably you should use "SAM_SOCKET/Subfolder1", "SAM_SOCKET/Subfolder2" and so on.

mh...I suspected so...I thought there could be a more fast way!
Thank you so much!
