Thank you for taking the time to read my question.
What is the problem you are having with rclone?
In short, I'm trying to use a text file of file paths as a filter, plain strings of absolute file paths on the file system that I want to be excluded from rclone sync commands, but this does not work with some special characters in the file names.
I've read through Rclone Filtering, and the first section talks about regex and patterns and glob, and that is all wonderful, but in this case I want absolute basic exact matching. I guess I could turn every string into a "match this exactly" RegEx, but that feels more complicated than is necessary. My problem is the filenames contain [ and {{ characters, but they are not RegEx or patterns.
