I was referring to the 'ignoreDirRE' option, but actually I never used
any of your options. :)

In short, a regular expression is a string of characters of which some
have special meanings and some are just used literally. It allows
checking for a (partial) match in an input string. So something like the
wildcards * and ? for file and folder names in Windows but much more
powerful. Since they are easy to handle in a program, developers usually
love them but since they are sometimes hard to get it right, users often
hate them. :)
Try it like bpa suggested, but I think you could do it without the
slash, so
Code:
--------------------
ignoreDirRE: 'Y = OK'
--------------------
The 'Y = OK' here is the regular expression used to find a mach in the
folder paths. In this case it's just used literally since it doesn't
contain characters with special meaning for the regular expression.
