Ok, last reply this round, I promise. I still don't think 7z does it right. You can work around it by using the method you discovered, but I don't think 7z does the "right thing." I did another version of the script like this:
$ 7z a /tmp/directory.7z /tmp/directory [EMAIL PROTECTED] The result? Nothing ever got excluded. Even when the exclude list was: $ echo /tmp/directory/1 >> exclude.list $ echo /tmp/directory/10 >> exclude.list Surely that is not proper behavior. I apologize for saying the bug was ok to close earlier, but honestly, this just doesn't seem right.
Exclude list with no apparent logical path

exclude.list contains:
