Experts, I'm using tar (GNU tar) 1.16.1 and have an archive with the following entries. Files/report1.html Files/report2.html Files/report3.html Files/report4.html D:/Bkp/sol/ D:/Bkp/sol/test1.pl D:/Bkp/sol/test2.pl D:/Bkp/sol/test3.pl
Whenever, I try to exclude files starting with "D:/" its not working as expected. The command used is, tar tf test.tar --anchored --exclude="D:/" and if the command is changed to, tar tf test.tar --anchored --exclude="Bkp" then its working fine. It seems the --exclude is not working properly if the pattern starts with windows drive letter. The same thing is working fine for inclusion patterns. tar tf test.tar --anchored "D:/" (working fine) Is this a bug? Can it be worked atound? Please throw light on this..
