[RESOLVED] exclude folder or files

[basti42]

hello!
just one more question i just want also to exlude the files *.avi.

how?

I'm no Regex expert, but this one seems to match:

\w[avi]$

"\\w[avi]$" this works great, but i wonder why they implement this such kind of
function... i can say that microsoft can create like this "*.avi" it is much easier...

tnx for your help...

That is how regular expressions work...they are an extremly powerful tool...and can match against any possible string you need, which it why they look so complicated...

however, im guessing the more you learn to use them and work with them, the simpler they become, just like most things...

"\\w[avi]$"
any explanation? what are the meaning?

1. w
2. [avi] i know is the extension name
3. $

[nmadd]

\w matches any word character.
$ specifies that the match must occur at the end of the string.

Here are all of the explanations:
