I run 2.1.0-RELEASE. I have tried various syntaxes, including among others: tar cvfX test.tar excludefile * tar cvXf test.tar excludefile * tar -c -v -f test.tar -X excludefile * tar -c -v -X excludefile -f test.tar * tar -c -v -f test.tar --exclude-from excludefile * tar -c -v -f test.tar --exclude exclude.me * In excludefile I have put lines with filenames, I have tried absolute filenames, only filenames without path and ./filenames. Nothing works. The named file is never excluded. What am I doing wrong??? Thanks for your time! Please cc me, my mailsystem (or someone on the way) has the ugly habit of truncating the digests. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Peter Olsson Email: pol@leissner.se Leissner Data AB, Sweden Phone: +46 520 200 00 Fax: +46 520 200 89
