external exclude file

[drew]

Hello,
I've been making these batch files for my clients, and I need to do "cool stuff" in the exclude file. What sort of lines can I put in my file? Here is what I have now, the last line doesn't do anything...

---start noLawoffice.txt---
*.jpg
*.zip
*.pdf
*.tif
clients\*.*
"Bankruptcy Stuff\*.*"
---end---

command line switchs:
pacomp -P -r -c2 -x@mab_noLawoffice.txt "c:\backup\lawoffice_%mydate%.zip" "z:\law office\*.*"

Does this have something to do with the long file name? thanks,
drew kerlee

for the exclusion file:
1. do not put quotes in the file, even for long file names, or files names with spaces
2. put the full path to the folder


---------------mab_clients.bat---------------
@echo off

echo "z:\law office\clients\*.* --> c:\backup\clients_(date).zip"
echo excluding: jpg, zip, pdf, tif, close cases

FOR /F "tokens=1-4 delims=/ " %%I IN ('DATE /t') DO SET mydate=%%L-%%J-%%K

PATH "C:\backup\bin"
pacomp -P -r -c2 -x@mab_noClients.txt "c:\backup\clients_%mydate%.zip" "z:\law office\clients\*.*"

echo all done!
---------------end---------------



---------------mab_noClients.txt---------------
*.jpg
*.zip
*.pdf
*.tif
Z:\law office\clients\closed cases\*.*
---------------end---------------

Hello!

Yes, do need for quote-marks since every line means only one parameters, so it is easy to parse.

We have added one more check for next version (4.00 BETA 2) - now even if you use quotes it will work.
