Pattern matching exclude

[monty_python]

Hello,
I would like to setup sources parameter in Error DAT in such way, that everything is included, except some specific paths like /sys/* and /ui/* (which should be excluded to avoid TD specific warnings and errors). I am guessing it isn’t possible based on pattern matching logic explained here:

RESOLVED: '^' doesn't work for pattern matching

Patterns are often used to build up a list of things to selected, so right now they are always ORed together. So * ^geo2 will just be doing *. In this simple case you can simply list ^geo2. However this does break down easily if you are trying to avoid multiple geos that arn’t named similarly. So this behavior is expected right now, but I can see why you’d want AND behavior instead. We’ll look into adding it.

I just wanted to ask whether I am not missing some new way to do that? If not, I have been thinking that maybe using exclamation mark for exclusions (using AND logic) would be a good option for the future. In such case one could specify sources like this: * !/sys/* !/ui/*.

Edit: Moving to RFE as I haven’t figured out a way how to do pattern matching exclude, but I feel like it would be a good feature to have in the future.

Hello, I would like to bump since I keep hitting this multi-exclude pattern matching problem in various places.
