OK - Dunno if this is a dopus question or a Windows question.
I was a long time Amiga user, and pattern matching on the Amiga was incredible.
All I want to do on DO is make an exclude filter.
eg. I would type {pattern}.jpg
and jpgs would be ignored.
So I need to know what goes in {pattern} to do this.
All the resources I've looked at only mention * & ?, which are both inclusion patterns.
Cheers

If you want to know the full details, there's a handy appendix at the back of the manual which lists all of the pattern matching symbols. Also a separate appendix covering regular expressions.

Ahh - thanks - I did look in the manual first but didn't check the appendix. I'll know better in future.
