Exclude files starting with #

Post by dpupello »

How do you exclude files starting with #?

I tried #*.* and #*

Any way to do this? Thanks very much.

try !\#

it will exclude everything starting with a #. (ie, also folders)

Tried !\# but it didn't work (used Exclude | Add Filter). Then tried Exclude | Add Files. Then tried Exclude | Add Folder. None of these options work with !\#. I still see folders starting with #.

On second look, it's only folders, not files, that I see. Apparently I don't have any files that start with a #. Nevertheless, these #folders still appear no matter how I try to exclude. Doh!

Enable Regex and use this pattern to exclude anything beginning with a #:

Code: Select all

^[^#]
