problem with --delete if I sync part of a dir

Re: problem with --delete if I sync part of a dir
check this out: echo rsync -azv --stats -e ssh --delete i_* user@host:/dir/. it expands to sync -azv --stats -e ssh --delete all existing i_* files user@host:/dir/ It won't mention the ones that are gone. rsync the directory/. including i_* and excluding * (the order matters). rsync -azv --stats -e ssh --delete ./. --include=i_* --exclude=* user@host:/dir/ Tim Conway [EMAIL PROTECTED] 303.682.4917 Philips Semiconductor - Longmont TC 1880 Industrial Circle, Suite D Longmont, CO 80501 Available via SameTime Connect within Philips, n9hmg on AIM perl -e 'print pack(, 19061,29556,8289,28271,29800,25970,8304,25970,27680,26721,25451,25970), .\n ' There are some who call me Tim?
