dat name exclude not working as expected

[chrisdrackett]

I'm a bit unclear how dat-name-regex-exclude works. I have a No-Intro zip that I am trying to use (--dat "${BASE_PATH}/DATs/No-Intro*.zip" \) and then I have the following to try and filter out systems I don't care about (--dat-name-regex-exclude "Epoch|Fujitsu|Fairchild|Fukutake|Magnavox|Philips|VTech" \)

However both in the logs and report I see systems that match the above. Is there something I'm not understanding about this filter?

That should work exactly as you intended. You can also change it to be case-insensitive like this: --dat-name-regex-exclude "/Epoch|Fujitsu|Fairchild|Fukutake|Magnavox|Philips|VTech/i".

Which logs indicate the DATs are still being considered? Do you have ROMs that are matching to the DATs?

disregard this, I realize I had some unescaped characters in my regex 🤦🏻‍♂️
