What is the problem you are having with rclone?

Continue of this thread, cos it closed.

Rclone or regex filter does not filter out, and does not copy/upload filenames contains special charachters.

Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.

rclone v1.60.1

  • os/kernel: 19.6.0 (x86_64)

  • os/type: darwin

  • os/arch: amd64

  • go/version: go1.19.3

  • go/linking: dynamic

  • go/tags: cmount

The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)


'' uesr@user ~ % rclone ls /Users/user/Desktop/TXT 
      6148 .DS_Store
       10 50321_NEW_XXXXXX.txt
       10 51124+_NEW_XXXXX.txt
       10 51124_XXXXX.txt
       10 53413@_XXXXX.txt
       10 53413_XXXXX.txt
       10 53414_XXXXX.txt
       10 53417_XXXXX.txt

       uesr@user ~ % rclone ls /Users/user/Desktop/TXT  --include='{{\d11\d\d_.*.txt}}'
       10 51124_XXXXX.txt ''

The rclone config contents with secrets removed.

This looks like the correct output to me.

What is the problem?

Shouldn't this file have been filtered out as well?
51124+_NEW_XXXXX.txt

And it doesn't even filter files that have @. (obviously for the -- Inculde='{{\d34\d\d_.*.txt}'

Your regexp says \d11\d\d_.*.txt which says digit digit 1 1 digit digit underscore.

The above has a + sign before the underscore so it doesn't match.

Same reason.

Maybe you are looking for \d11\d\d.?_.*.txt which optionally allows any character before the underscore.

I just checked your initial post and guess you are just looking for something simple like this:

rclone ls /Users/user/Desktop/TXT  --include='{{\d11.*}}'

and probably can do with something much simpler and easier to understand like this:

rclone ls /Users/user/Desktop/TXT  --include='?34*'

The last command will match any filename with 3 as 2nd character and 4 as 3rd character, and ignores anything else.

Explanation:

?         matches any single non-separator (/) character
*         matches any sequence of non-separator (/) characters

Thank's to all of you!
