I am trying to implement all dot-files into a fileset. but cannot

Options {

RegexFile = ".?*$"
As has been pointed out before, this is broken. An unescaped . means
"anything", ? is IIRC "one or none of the characters before, * means
"any number of the characters before", and $ is the end-of-line
indicator. So, '.?*' will not work.
}
File="/home/user"
}
}
Perhaps anybody has done this kind of task successfully, because I
do not have any luck using regex.
I'm not sure why you'd want JUST the dotfiles, but the usual Unix
shell regex for selecting dotfiles and ONLY dotfiles is: .??*
Thanks for that. I will give it a try asap. So only files, no
dot-folders I guess.
As I am an apsolute RegEx-Dummy, I would kindly ask you to help out
here.
Perhaps my choice of words was misleading. In the Unix shell, the regex
.??* will select any file OR FOLDER whose name begins with a dot and
then contains at least two additional characters. This regex is
typically ised to select all dotfiles (and folders) without also
selecting . and .. at the same time.
The same principle should be applicable to a Bacula file selection regex.
By the way, the shell expansion does not use regular expressions...
To select only stuff starting with a dot, in a regular expression you
should write '\.[^\.].+'. Unless I'm wrong, of course :-)
That RE would be spelled like "take everything which starts with a dot,
and is followed by one character which is not a dot, and is followed by
at least one character".
Keep in mind that I, too, am not exactly an expert with REs and usually
need lots of trial-and-error...
I am curious, though, why you want to back up the dotfiles, but not any
other contents of the directory.
Me too...
