Yes, this was the trick. Thank you to Eric Noulard and David Cole "With the expression the way it is, you're trying to exclude things that have literal "/.txt" in them. What you want is ".txt" right?"
I suppose that I'm a little confused by the RegEx. So with the '/' characters, was I literally looking for a '/' characters in my search patterns? Is that why they work in the directory filters? I was thinking that they were the delimiters of a regex expression. Thanks for your time.

(Eric already pointed this out in his reply to this email...) With the expression the way it is, you're trying to exclude things that have literal "/.txt" in them. What you want is ".txt" right?

Please ignore the fact that I used a generated file in my previous example, that's tangential to the problem I'm reporting. Pretend that the set statement is: set( CPACK_SOURCE_IGNORE_FILES "/Build/;/\\\\.hg/;/\\\\.svn/;/\\\\.txt/" ) I still can't get this to work. I am wondering if I have the slashes right. The funny thing is, it does properly exclude my .svn folder.
