Hi, I'm having trouble with the --exclude-from option in tar. The following works: tar -cvf backup.tar --exclude *.exe mydir in that .exe files are excluded from the archive. But this does not: tar -cvf backup.tar --exclude-from exc.txt mydir where exc.txt contains the line *.exe. What am I doing wrong? Platform is Windows 2000 Pro SP4. tar is tar-1.13-1.
