I like that logic! I might just start (ab)using Perl now. Thanks to all replies. Now I've got a few options to play around with to do this 'exclude files' and not necessarily tar .

Re: UNIX OT: exclude files in tar
Then I'll pipe it to cpio -H tar, which will solve the problem.

Re: UNIX OT: exclude files in tar
This approach might cause problems, if you have really lots of files -> your
shell argument buffer (or whatever is the correct name for it) becomes full

Here is how to do it:
Create script called /tmp/tmp1.pl containing the following:
#!/usr/bin/perl
open FL,"find /home -print|"||die "Cannot open file:$!\n";
$pattern="\/mark03\/";
while () {
chomp;
if (/$pattern/) { next; }
print "$_\n";
}
Purists will cringe when seeing a script without "use strict" and executing "find"
but it's short and it works.
Next, you chmod /tmp/tmp1.pl to 700 and do tar cvf /mydir/myfile.tar `/tmp/tmp1.pl`
It works each and every time.

Re: UNIX OT: exclude files in tar
I never rely on tar to do that. Here is the trick that I use when I want to be
selective:
tar zcvf /tmp/test1.tgz `perl -e 'foreach (<*.pl>) { if (/connect/) {print "$_\n";}}'`
Basically, you write a small perl script which will output only the files
you want and hand that to tar. Works each and every time. That is precisely
why Unix is such a great OS and Slowaris definitely is Unix, unless SCO
has revoked the license.

Re: UNIX OT: exclude files in tar
Just another excuse to read the tar man page. This series of commands seamed to work in testing. Note the "excluded" and "OK" on the tar command output. As the tar man page states, be careful on the leading and trailing spaces in the exclude file. As with most Unix commands, DON'T use a "-" in the exclude file name, doing so will lead you to question your own sanity when things just don't seam to work right. mkdir -p level.1/level.2.1/level.2.1.1 \ level.1/level.2.1/level.2.1.2 \ level.1/level.2.2/level.2.2.1 \ level.1/level.2.3/level.2.3.1 touch level.1/level.2.1/level.2.1.1/yes.level.2.1.1 \ level.1/level.2.1/level.2.1.2/no.level.2.1.1 \ level.1/level.2.2/yes.2.2.1 \ level.1/level.2.2/level.2.2.1/no.2.2.1\ level.1/level.2.3/level.2.3.1/yes.2.3.1 echo "level.1/level.2.1/level.2.1.2" >exclude.file echo "level.1/level.2.2/level.2.2.1" >>exclude.file tar -cvfX myfiles.tar exclude.file level.1 tar -tvf myfiles.tar find . -name '*' -type f ls -Fla uname -a 24956:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> tar -cvfX myfiles.tar exclude.file level.1 a level.1/ 0K a level.1/level.2.1/ 0K a level.1/level.2.1/level.2.1.1/ 0K a level.1/level.2.1/level.2.1.1/yes.level.2.1.1 0K a level.1/level.2.1/level.2.1.2 excluded a level.1/level.2.2/ 0K a level.1/level.2.2/level.2.2.1 excluded a level.1/level.2.2/yes.2.2.1 0K a level.1/level.2.3/ 0K a level.1/level.2.3/level.2.3.1/ 0K a level.1/level.2.3/level.2.3.1/yes.2.3.1 0K 24956:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> tar -tvf myfiles.tar tar: blocksize = 11 drwxr-xr-x 101/2000 0 Nov 24 22:46 2003 level.1/ drwxr-xr-x 101/2000 0 Nov 24 22:46 2003 level.1/level.2.1/ drwxr-xr-x 101/2000 0 Nov 24 22:46 2003 level.1/level.2.1/level.2.1.1/ -rw-r--r-- 101/2000 0 Nov 24 22:46 2003 level.1/level.2.1/level.2.1.1/yes.level.2.1.1 drwxr-xr-x 101/2000 0 Nov 24 22:46 2003 level.1/level.2.2/ -rw-r--r-- 101/2000 0 Nov 24 22:46 2003 level.1/level.2.2/yes.2.2.1 drwxr-xr-x 101/2000 0 Nov 24 22:46 2003 level.1/level.2.3/ drwxr-xr-x 101/2000 0 Nov 24 22:46 2003 level.1/level.2.3/level.2.3.1/ -rw-r--r-- 101/2000 0 Nov 24 22:46 2003 level.1/level.2.3/level.2.3.1/yes.2.3.1 24956:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> find . -name '*' -type f ./level.1/level.2.1/level.2.1.1/yes.level.2.1.1 ./level.1/level.2.1/level.2.1.2/no.level.2.1.1 ./level.1/level.2.2/level.2.2.1/no.2.2.1 ./level.1/level.2.2/yes.2.2.1 ./level.1/level.2.3/level.2.3.1/yes.2.3.1 ./myfiles.tar ./exclude.file 24956:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ls -Fla total 80 drwxr-xr-x 3 oracle dba 318 Nov 24 22:52 ./ drwxrwxrwt 13 root sys 8057 Nov 24 22:59 ../ -rw-r--r-- 1 oracle dba 60 Nov 24 22:46 exclude.file drwxr-xr-x 5 oracle dba 315 Nov 24 22:46 level.1/ -rw-r--r-- 1 oracle dba 5632 Nov 24 22:53 myfiles.tar 24956:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> uname -a SunOS bigkahuna 5.8 Generic_108528-22 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-Enterprise Ross Collado <[EMAIL PROTECTED]To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> hpac.com>cc: Sent by: Subject: UNIX OT: exclude files in tar [EMAIL PROTECTED] .com 11/24/2003 10:24 PM Please respond to ORACLE-L Hello, On Solaris 8 I can't seem to get the tar command right.
