------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2005-05-17 00:11 ------- > ### Script 3 (works as expected) If by "works as expected" you mean that it excludes a file whose name is a single apostrophe whose grandparent directory also has a name of a single apostrophe. (That's certainly what I expect it to do, and what it actually does too.) Maybe you meant to write this VAL assignment? VAL='/whatever/' Keep in mind that shell-special characters are not re-parsed when expanding variables (which would be very bad) unless you use eval. It may also help to note that writing --exclude='foo' is exactly the same as writing '--exclude=foo' (it's just that the former seems more natural to most people), so there's no need for all the extra quotes in what you're trying to do -- just quote the values when assigning them to a variable and they'll be fine. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.samba.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
