Great, have been hacking in bash for years for this behaviour, will be
much better now !
exc_dirs=$(cat exclude_dirs | while read line; do if [ -n "$line" ];
then echo -n $line; echo -n "|"; fi; done)
if [ "$exc_dirs" != "" ]
then
#bash subsitution of last pipe |
exc_dirs=${exc_dirs%%|}
echo set mirror:exclude-regex \"^\($exc_dirs\)\" >> $HOME/.lftp/rc
fi
lftp -f ...
Thanks!

Is it better to list file patterns in the file or plain file paths?

Hello,
I want to create a list of all the files that lftp has d/l to my local
computer and then use that list to have the next run exclude them from
being d/l again. I cannot find anything specific in the man page that
allows you to use a file with stuff to exclude.
I did come across this post
https://multimerch.com/blog/rsync-lftp-and-exclude-lists/
"I searched for an ftp alternative to rsync and stumbled upon lftp in this
post. It looked really nice until I found out lftp doesn't support exclude
lists, which means you can't make it read exclude patterns from a file. The
good news is, lftp does allow you to specify multiple --exclude switches at
once, so I modified the command to make use of my exclude-list.txt like
this:
lftp -u username,password -e "mirror --only-newer sed 's/^/--exclude /'
exclude-list.txt | tr 'n' ' ' --reverse /path/to/local/dir
/path/to/public_html" server.com
This way, sed prepends every line with an --exclude switch and tr replaces
newlines so in the end we have our lftp mirror command with all necessary
excludes in it."
but am not sure if there is a more simple approach as this seems
complicated to a beginner in linux.
Please let me know if this is the best way to exclude files from d/l from
a file.
Thanks
