Thanks. I did take the time to look around before, and found
(interactive), but couldn't get it to work. I'm struggling to learn
lisp. It's so different from the whole C/C++/Java tradition. However,
I changed it to:
(defun my-exclude-file-from-backup (&optional file)
(interactive (list (read-file-name "File to exclude: " "" nil t
buffer-file-name)))
(my-exclude-from-backup (expand-file-name file)))
Your code was making it show
like:
/data/Documents//data/Documents/Reason.txt
I.E. directory *then* full file name. Changing the default directory to
the empty string fixed that.
However, this also excludes other files containing the full path. Thus,
for exampled, if I excluded:
/data/Documents/cool.c
It will also exclude
/data/Documents/cool.cpp
I don't know enough regex to fix that.
