Subject: Re: need rsync exclude help
--exclude='{wine-*,wine-1.7.24}' /home/CDs/Linux /mnt/MyCDs/.
I am not real certain that the {} thingy works correctly.
Anyway, I only needed 'wine-*'
That seems redundant in this case. You can always test such expansions using
'echo'
$ echo {wine-*,wine-1.7.24}
wine-* wine-1.7.24
$ echo wine-{1.7.24,package-1.2.3}
wine-1.7.24 wine-package-1.2.3
Here I also added a little demonstration of how the {} expansion can work.

Hi David,
Yes, it was redundant. I wanted to see if the syntax crashed.
I also set up a bunch of wine-1.7.xx directories to see if
they too would be left alone.
When I tried the expansion in the rsync string, it did not
work, so I went back to just
--exclude='wine-*'
-T
Sweet examples. Thank you!
I don't know if it is just me but I can have thins
explained to me for hours and not get it, but show
me an example and I am off to the races. I guess
it is just different ways different folks learn.
