exclude file mask not quite right

Post by ddd » Sun Mar 05, 2006 4:37 pm

When I enter in to the exclude file list:

*.mk?

It still wants to detect files *.mk (but correctly omits .mk1, .mk2, etc..)

I have to enter

*.mk

for it to not detect those files. doing "dir *.mk?" from a command will bring up .mk as well as anything else like .mk1, .mk2, etc.. Just seems like it should be consistent.

The "?" implies there is another letter in the string, rather than no letter. Use "*" instead.
