I noticed this from the 7.3 documentation in the nmc which is an improvement
over the old online help.....
File Matching with Multiple ASMs in a Directive
When a file matches multiple ASMs in a directive, the action taken on
the file depends on the order
of the ASMs in the directive. For example, if the following two ASMs
are listed in a directive:
+always: master.mdf master.ldf
+skip *.mdf *.ldf
Then the master.mdf and the master.ldf files will be backed up because
the always ASM is processed first.
All other files with a .mdf or .ldf extension will not be backed up.
However, if the order of the ASMs is reversed:
+skip *.mdf *.ldf
+always: master.mdf master.ldf
Then the master.mdf and the master.ldf files will not be backed up
because the skip ASM is processed first.
Note: To simplify directives that include multiple potential matches
for the same file, consider using save environment keywords. For more
information, see Save Environment Keywords.
Eg: exactly the opposite to how I assumed precedence worked...

Tim,
Thanks for your response. This looks like a good way forward - I'll give it a
go and see how it works out. As long as we skip the bulk of them I'll be happy.
FYI, the ls command was Korn shell on Solaris 9.
Thanks again,
Stephen

It's a good first try, and it proves you've read the man page. ;-)

That's more of an extended glob/fnmatch that your shell (which appears to be
csh/tcsh ? ) is giving you. NSR directives use only the basic glob characters,
AFAIK.
There's no easy way that I know of with a basic glob() to invert a class of
characters, so this won't work:
<< / >>
+skip: [^a][^r][^c][^h]*.dbf
(read that as: anything other than "a", followed by anything other than "r",
followed by ...).
Assuming that your .dbf file names are limited to a predictable range of
characters, you *might* be able to get most of the way there by doing something
like:
<< / >>
+skip: [0-9A-Zb-z]*.dbf
This will skip files named 001.dbf, foo.dbf, FOO.dbf, etc. It will not skip
any .dbf file that has a filename that begins with the letter a. It also will
not skip any .dbf files that have names that begin with characters outside
these classes, so things like
?005.dbf
-foo1.dbf
überdb.dbf
etc, will not be skipped.
It's not a perfect solution, especially if you have a lot of .dbf files that
begin with the letter a, but it gets you most of the way there.
