robots.txt syntax ignored (cakephp with modrewrite) about googlesitemapgenerator HOT 3 OPEN

Just want to make things clear:

>> 1. put Disallow: /example/ in robots.txt 
If /example/some-page appears before robots.txt is updated. This has no effect.

>> 2. or put  /example/  in Excluded URL patterns
Yes, this is an expected behavior.

>> 3. what it works if you put /example/* in Excluded URL patterns
This works. Right?

with latest beta i check now if it works 

1) point seems to me that robots.txt rules are now working /example/
and /example/2 are now ignored and not added in latest beta (from 25 Feb)
2) OK but i thought that the same rules from robots.txt are applied 
so it should be more consistent to apply the same rules as in robots.txt
/example/ to be like /example/* 
3. yes i was just notice you that i was expecting /example/ to ignore all 
subdirs 
/example/2 ...

Experiencing the same problem: /eDM/ and /WDSearch/ are both disallowed in 
robots.txt.  Configured GSG to exclude /eDM/* and /WDSearch/* and URLs still 
included.  Configured GSG to exclude /eDM/ and /WDSearch/ and URLs still 
included.
