please license these scripts appropriately. I found the ddsplit to be useful on esxi as it had no split command.

Hi, I like these rules a lot overall, thanks very much.
But I'm not sure if this generic temp dir exclusion isn't a bit too eager:

I believe it would also match on both files and directories that just start with with [Tt]e?mp, like Temperature or Templates.msf. At least the latter seems to be missing in the manifest file in my tests with the inclusions and burp.

[Tt]e?mp\b would fix that but it would require another exclusion for stuff like Temporary or more that was maybe intended with the rule.

The generic cache rule is kind of in a similar predicament since it would match files like /usr/share/perl5/core_perl/FileCache.pm.

Hi deajan,

Do you know if this exclusion really works?

If I test it here: https://regex101.com/

It doesn't, and tells there are warnings.

I'm not too familiarized with regex, it is something I don't use often just for very specific cases when I need it.

in the test there, it looks to work:

exclude_regex = ^.*[\/\\](~\$.*)\.*$

But I'm not sure if it is correct
