DO NOT REPLY [Bug 5759] New: filter rules: no wildcards match empty strings
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5759 Summary: filter rules: no wildcards match empty strings Product: rsync Version: 3.0.3 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: core AssignedTo: wayned@samba.org ReportedBy: dieter@plaetinck.be QAContact: rsync-qa@samba.org when filtering with pattern rules, all wildcards ( ’*’, ’?’, and ’[’ ) expect at least one character. So there doesn't seem to be a way to match 'foo', 'foobar' and not match 'fo'. ('foo*','foo**','foo?','foo[a-z]' match foobar but not foo) Regexes have the pattern modifier '*' for this, shell globbing expands '*' to any string (including empty ones), but this does not seem to be possible with rsync rules syntax.
