[rancid] ignoring files in flash

[allonon]

Hi, Unfortunately my lack of programming skils requires me to ask this
question.

I updated our config to write an archived config copy to flash every
night. That has the side affect of having rancid email me for the
changes. I found the area in ios.pm to to drop files entirely, addded the
following "|archived\-config*" to the line (without the double quotes) but
it's not ignoring the daily files.

Please help me ignore these files Thanks

Thanks, I actually had to apply the change to this line to accomplish
what I wanted, but appreciate the pointer

# Drop these files entirely.

/\s+(private-multiple-fs|multiple-fs|LISP-MapCache-IPv\S+|nv_hdr)$/ &&
next;

one of these days I'll need to update the scripts to the latest version
