include and exclude file

[Marc Collin]

hi

i try to include and exclude file when i do a rsync

#!/bin/sh
# directory to backup
BDIR=/home/collinm/test/home
# includes file - this contains a wildcard pattern per line of files to 
exclude
INCLUDE=include.txt
# excludes file - this contains a wildcard pattern per line of files to 
exclude
EXCLUDE=exclude.txt
OPTS="-a -r -v -p -t --delete-before --exclude-from=$EXCLUDE 
--include-from=$INCLUDE"
# the name of the backup machine
BACKUPDIR=/home/collinm/test/back
# now the actual transfer
rsync $OPTS $BDIR $BACKUPDIR

script work fine


my exclude.txt file contain:
rpm/
mp3/
Download/
.*

my include.txt file contain:
.kde/


rsync don't copy my kde folder....

i don't want to list every .* file i have..... there are to many....

any idea?

thanks
