Wildcards in Ignore Patterns

In addition to explicit filenames and paths (dev_notes.doc, /temp/notes/ and /pubs/design_offsite.txt, for example) AccuRev ignore patterns support wildcards, as summarized in the following table.

Wildcard	Description	Examples
?	Matches exactly one character, which can be anything other than the path separator (typically /).	pa?t.txt matches pact.txt and part.txt, but not pat.txt
*	Matches zero or more characters, which can be anything other than the path separator (typically /).	pa*t.txt matches pat.txt, pact.txt, part.txt, and paint.txt
[ ]	Matches exactly one character from the list, which can be anything other than the path separator (typically /). If the list begins with an exclamation mark (!), matches any character not in the list. Use a dash (-) to specify a range of characters.	[aekz] matches a, e, k, or z [a-e] matches a, b, c, d, or e .*ba[kt] matches any file with either a .bak or .bat extension file[!12].cpp matches the file3.cpp and file4.cpp but not file1.cpp and file2.cpp
**	Matches zero or more nested directories. The wildcard must be specified as if it were a directory or a filename itself. That is, it must occur: • At the beginning of the pattern or be preceded by a path separator • At the end of the pattern or be followed by a path separator	pubs **/*.doc matches any file with a .doc extension in any directory under the pubs directory: pubs/overview.doc and pubs/ui/preferences.doc, for example.
{ }	Matches exactly one word from the comma-separated list. Words in the list may contain other wildcards, including nested { } wildcards) as well as path separators.	n_{one,t??,s*}.txt matches n_one.txt, n_two.txt, n_ten.txt, n_six.txt and n_seven.txt,
