Simon Persson <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|REPORTED |RESOLVED Resolution|--- |INTENTIONAL --- Comment #3 from Simon Persson <[email protected]> --- I think the bup index man page has relevant information about how to use patterns and mentions that they are regular expressions. It also provides a few relevant examples. Some web site that explains regular expressions is probably too much information for many cases, and not directly to the point. But yes, the man page uses single quote marks around examples because it is for use from a command shell, where it's usually a good idea to put those around your pattern (if it contains spaces, like you say). When the pattern is in a file they are not needed. I still don't think it makes it better to link some other documentation, at least I don't know of anything better to link to. And writing about pattern formats directly in the kup advanced settings page is also not good, the text would be getting too long. Quotes are not needed in the file and they are not added. Space is nothing special in regular expressions, you don't need to escape them. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
