visual code - excluding files with several conditions

Question

There is an option to exclude generated files with the "when" keyword, .e.g:

"files.exclude": {
  "**/*.js": { "when": "$(basename).ts"},
}

I want to also exclude .js files that where generated from .tsx files. neither

"**/*.js": { "when": "$(basename).ts, $(basename).tsx"}

nor

"**/*.js": { "when": "$(basename).ts"},
"**/*.js": { "when": "$(basename).tsx"}

worked.

I also tried "**/*.js": { "when": "$(basename).ts*"} and "**/*.js": { "when": "$(basename).ts | $(basename).tsx"} in vain.

Is there a way to do it?

Try this:

"**/*.js": { "when": "$(basename).ts"},
"**/*?.js": { "when": "$(basename).tsx"}

These are my settings if they help. It is quite a mess in creating these. I think that a regexp would be great, but we live in hard times ....

"files.exclude": {
"**/*.js": { "when": "$(basename).tsx"},
"**/*?.js": { "when": "$(basename).ts"},
"**/*.js.map": true
}
