robocopy switches

[BetaTime]

Hello -- one of the many switches that robocopy has is /xf -- to exclude file(s)

 

that are to be excluded --- the help

 

 

 

(https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/robocopy)

 

 

 

notes that I can specify "wildcards" * and ? for the filename ---

 

 

 

So I specified the option

 

 

 

/xf foo.*

 

 

 

and I got a error that this option was invalid

 

 

 

Strictly speaking is the help noted that the filename, ie the part of the file

 

identifier before the '.' can have the wildcard and not the file extension/type?

 

 

 

Thanks in advance
