Yes, the include/exclude files are entirely parsed by rsync, so there are no shell-compatibility issues there. The problem Charles is having is due to the file list being expanded from a shell variable rather than being directly specified on the command-line. J.W.'s suggestion to have Charles go up a level, specify just the starting directory, and do all the limiting via the include/exclude directives would bypass all shell interactions and avoid the problem with spaces. Other than that (and the similar idea of switching to --files-from), Charles will need to change his shell's variable expansion to not split it on spaces. ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
