Hmm. Couldn't get rx (or rx-to-string) to work for me. Kept getting an error that a stringp was expected for the argument to :exclude. I tried variations on: :exclude (rx-to-string (seq (or "init" "calendar-beorg") ".org")) Reverted to using a simple regex as above with proper escapes. Can I suggest making the complex example in 14.3.2 of the Org Manual use a better example regex (in rx form?) as a hint to what :exclude can do? -- David Masterson
