Getting Data In

Multiple blacklist paths in one stanza

Path Finder

I'm pretty sure this is incorrect:

recursive = true
blacklist = conc/out/*
blacklist = reports/cache/*

Would a correct line look more like this?

blacklist = (conc/out/*|reports/cache/*)

Yes, your first example is incorrect. Only one of the blacklists will take effect. And, yes, using the regex | should be valid as well..
