regex help

[GollyJer]

I sync my firefox folder and there are 4 files that always get stuck with hash errors in Powerfolder. The files are:
_CACHE_001_
_CACHE_002_
_CACHE_003_
_CACHE_MAP_
and they do not have extensions.

I'm using this pattern on all clients:
_cache_..._
but it doesn't seem to work.

What is the correct ignore pattern? Thanks.

I'd also like to disable syncing of any file with a tilde ~ in the name.

Thanks.

Hi GollyJer,

At present the best that is possible is _CACHE_*_ , or alternatively you could enter the four cases as separate pattern entries.

*~* will match anything with a ~ .

I will raise the issue about single character matching with the rest of the team.

Thanks hglas.

You guys should update your wiki to define the regex patterns Powerfolder accepts.

Hi GollyJer,

That is a good idea. A page has now been added to the wiki.

http://www.powerfolder.com/wiki/Excluding_Files_from_Synchronization

An internal issue has been raised to discus improvements to pattern matching of file names.
