What syntax should I use to get a diff of two versions at the > command line? As the error suggests, the --from-patch option takes a regular expression: "*recursive*" is not a valid regex, and thus darcs complains. You can either provide a valid one, such as ".*recursive.*", or more simply forget about the stars, as "recursive" is a valid regex on its own and darcs will do what you meant above :-) hope this helps, ciao, lele. -- nickname: Lele Gaifax | Quando vivrò di quello che ho pensato ieri real: Emanuele Gaifas | comincerò ad aver paura di chi mi copia.
