The detoxrc perser is just looking for a string, so you can't use a shell wildcard, a C escape sequence, or a regex bracket expression.
You can, however, just insert an actual Control-M into the string. It gets really weird, because Control-M affects the way the console works.
$ tail /tmp/detoxrc.sample
ignore {
filename ".arch-params";
filename ".evolution";
filename ".gnome";
filename ".mozilla";
filename ".themes";
filename "{arch}";
"; filename "Icon
};
Note that the closing quote now appears to be at the start of the line.
Anyway, you should be able to cut and paste it out of this: detoxrc.zip . I tested it to confirm that it will work.
$ mkdir /tmp/test
$ cd /tmp/test
$ touch $(printf "Icon\r")
$ ls
'Icon'$'\r'
$ detox -f /tmp/detoxrc.sample -nv .
Scanning: .
With the original config file:
$ detox -nv .
Scanning: .
-> ./Icon_
Note that the original filename in the example above is overwritten due to the Control-M in the filename resetting the cursor position to the start of the line.
And thank you for the compliment!
Hi @dharple, Sorry for slow response! Had a little internet detox in the Alps :)
Many thanks for the solution! This works!
For others coming across this esoteric issue: I couldn't copy and paste the magic Control-M line in my normal code editors e.g. Sublime Text and had to try out a few other editors ... for some weird reason just macOS on-board TextEdit manged to do the trick for me. 🤷
Many thanks for this great tool!! 🙏 (Not an issue, rather a question.)
Following carefully the great documentation I manged to write a custom sequence to make filenames safe for exFAT formatted volumes. Great! Now just I have trouble with macOS Icon␍ files.
My
.detoxrc
looks like below ... but I couldn't figure out how to set the ignore filename parameter correctly to actually ignore the macOS Icon␍ files. Some attempts:Any hints how to achieve this?
