[CMake] CPACK_SOURCE_IGNORE_FILES

[Knox, Kent]

Yes, this was the trick.  Thank you to Eric Noulard and David Cole

"With the expression the way it is, you're trying to exclude things that
have literal "/.txt" in them. What you want is ".txt" right?"

I suppose that I'm a little confused by the RegEx.  So with the '/'
characters, was I literally looking for a '/' characters in my search
patterns?  Is that why they work in the directory filters?  I was
thinking that they were the delimiters of a regex expression.

Thanks for your time.

Kent

It's the leading "/" in the txt portion of the expression..... get rid
of it.

(Eric already pointed this out in his reply to this email...)


With the expression the way it is, you're trying to exclude things that
have literal "/.txt" in them. What you want is ".txt" right?

	Yes, thank you for the response; I am in the process of moving
my project from MSVC solution to out-of-source cmake builds.
	
	Please ignore the fact that I used a generated file in my
previous example, that's tangential to the problem I'm reporting.
Pretend that the set statement is:
	
	set( CPACK_SOURCE_IGNORE_FILES
"/Build/;/\\\\.hg/;/\\\\.svn/;/\\\\.txt/" )
	
	I still can't get this to work.  I am wondering if I have the
slashes right.  The funny thing is, it does properly exclude my .svn
folder.

	My advice is to use out of source builds so that no generated
files
	like .ncb .. are mixed in with your source.
