`file_list` specifies one or more file patterns. File paths should be specified relative to the currently executing script file. File patterns may contain the `*` wildcard to match against files in the current directory, or the `**` wildcard to perform a recursive match.
If a wildcard matches more files than you would like, you may filter the results using the [removefiles()](Removing-Values.md) function.
### Applies To ###
Project configurations. [Not all exporters currently support](Feature-Matrix.md) per-configuration file lists however.
### Examples ###
Add two files from to the current project, from the same directory that contains the script.
```lua
files { "hello.cpp", "goodbye.cpp" }
```
Add all C++ files from the **src/** directory to the project.
```lua
files { "src/*.cpp" }
```
Add all C++ files from the **src/** directory and any subdirectories.
```lua
files { "src/**.cpp" }
```
Add files for specific systems; might not work with all exporters.
