How to delete files except some files?

Well I found this useful script and was wondering how i could add more then 1 file to keep?
Here's the code:



Section

Push "$INSTDIR\test\"

Push "test1.txt"

Call RmFilesButOne

SectionEnd



Function RmFilesButOne

 Exch $R0 ; exclude file

 Exch

 Exch $R1 ; route dir

 Push $R2

 Push $R3

 Push $R4

 

  FindFirst $R3 $R2 "$R1\*.*"

  IfErrors Exit

 

  Top:

   StrCmp $R2 "." Next

   StrCmp $R2 ".." Next

   StrCmp $R2 $R0 Next

   IfFileExists "$R1\$R2\*.*" Next

    Delete "$R1\$R2"

 

   #Goto Exit ;uncomment this to stop it being recursive

 

   Next:

    ClearErrors

    FindNext $R3 $R2

    IfErrors Exit

   Goto Top

 

  Exit:

  FindClose $R3

 

 Pop $R3

 Pop $R2

 Pop $R1

 Pop $R0

FunctionEnd
