Add exclusions to pattern matching

Postby mikesmithfl » Mon May 14, 2007 3:47 pm

I'd like to add my thanks for a cool utility as well.

One item that would be helpful/desirable for my uses would be the ability to negate the pattern argument so to exclude groups of files/folders.

Allowing iterations or multiple instances of the argument would really extend the functionality even further.

Tks again,
Mike

This should be quite easy to add, I shall aim to do it for the next release (scheduled for later this summer).

I shall probably opt for "!" as the negate operator, e.g.

!*.doc !*.bak

to exclude docs and baks.
