Hi,
for some reasons I don't know the exclude of specific files doesn't
work in the DOS-Shell from Windows95.
I've tried:
tar -cvz --exclude=*.log -f archive.tgz *
tar -cvz --exclude="*.log" -f archive.tgz *
tar -cvz --exclude-from=donots -f archive.tgz *
tar -cvz -X donots -f archive.tgz *
File donots:
*.log
The rest of tar (version 112)
works fine. E.g.:
tar -cvzf archive.tgz *
The manual says, that files explicitly included in the file list override
the exclude list. I hope, that * is not an explicit inclusion in this
sense.
Does anybody knows, how to get tar to exclude specific files?
Thanks in advance
-Dirk
P.S.: I'm not using the djgpp directory structure. I just copied the
needed files tar.exe and gzip.exe to a directory in the search
path.
