There is no "not" operator in regexps.
there is. Ie this works egrep "/home/.*/[^Pictures]" pathlist.file the only problem is it would also _not_ match /home/user/iPctures because of the nature of []...

Thanks a lot. > The only problem is that it also includes everything directly in /home, but > that may not matter. not that I can see. The wild = "/home/*/*" directive also seems to match "/home/*" for a reason that I do not quite understand. Adding wilddir = "/home/*" to the include block selects all dirs directly in /home, which indicates that everything was selected by the File = /home directive... also removing the exclude block selects everything (both tested with estimate). So "/home/*" must be dropped in the "/home/*/*" match IMHO. Stephan ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
