Exclude Filter Issue with Underscore (_)

[jared]

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

trying to exclude a directory, which works until the directory has a file with a "_" in it. below i will insert first the working command, than the nonworking command with its log. and as a note, this is the directory i am trying to exclude:

C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\Shares\Venesa\Telegram Desktop\tdata\user_data\media_cache\0

as you can see below, if i shorted the exclude directory to before the folder with the _, it works fine.

What is your rclone version (output from rclone version)

1.56

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)

local sync

The command you were trying to run (works)

C:\rclone 1.56>rclone sync --verbose --transfers=50 --exclude "Telegram Desktop/tdata/" "C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\Shares\Venesa" "Y:\Server\Venesa"

The command you were trying to run (doesn't work, directory doesn't get excluded)

rclone sync --verbose --transfers=50 --exclude "Telegram Desktop/tdata/user_data" "C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\Shares\Venesa" "Y:\Server\Venesa"

A log from the command with the -vv flag

C:\rclone 1.56>rclone sync --verbose --transfers=50 --exclude "Telegram Desktop/tdata/user_data" "C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\Shares\Venesa" "Y:\Server\Venesa"

perhaps this is just a unix code issue that i am missing. that's why i am here

hi,

to exclude a directory, the exclude pattern needs a trailing slash, perhaps try
--exclude "Telegram Desktop/tdata/user_data/"

see the difference?

rclone ls D:\files\test --exclude="user_data" -vv --dump=filters 
--- start filters ---
--- File filter rules ---
- (^|/)user_data$
--- Directory filter rules ---
--- end filters ---

and

rclone ls D:\files\test --exclude="user_data/" -vv --dump=filters 
--- start filters ---
--- File filter rules ---
- (^|/)user_data/.*$
--- Directory filter rules ---
- (^|/)user_data/.*$
--- end filters ---

i won't forget that difference again
