`--exclude=` doesn't work

[mooreye]

I want to exclude a location:

sudo duperemove -drh --hashfile=/opt/dedupe.hash --exclude=/home/user/Foo/ /home/user/

The output says:

Adding exclude pattern: /home/user/Foo/

but then it still dedups it:

[0x55a36b429d30] Dedupe 1 extents (id: 7e1c978a) with target: (6.8GB, 128.0KB), "/home/user/Foo/file"

I also tried --exclude=/home/user/Foo/\* and --exclude=/home/user/Foo/file but none work.

Hello @mooreye The --exclude option takes a regex : in your case, you should use something like that:

sudo duperemove -drh --hashfile=/opt/dedupe.hash --exclude="/home/user/Foo/*" /home/user/
