Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting tar --exclude with curly braces Post 302683383 by alister on Tuesday 7th of August 2012 10:39:13 PM

Chubler_XL's thought is right on the mark. The shell running the command supports brace expansion and it is generating multiple --exclude options.

When there's no comma between the braces, there's no brace expansion. When there's no brace expansion, the pattern passed to tar includes the braces themselves. Unless there's a filename with literal braces, that exclude will not match anything.

To confirm: set -x; tar .... ; set +x

void aggregate_methods_by_regexp (object $object, string $class_name, string $regexp, [bool $exclude = false]) DESCRIPTION
Aggregates methods from a class to an existing object using a regular expression to match method names. The class constructor or methods whose names start with an underscore character (_), which are considered private to the aggregated class, are always excluded. PARAMETERS
o $object - o $class_name - o $regexp - o $exclude - The optional parameter $exclude is used to decide whether the regular expression will select the names of methods to include in the aggregation (i.e. $exclude is FALSE), or to exclude from the aggregation ($exclude is TRUE). RETURN VALUES
No value is returned. SEE ALSO
