Linux command variable substitution

Question

I would like to zip all files/dirs while excluding a few listed within the variable $excludes. However the following piece of code is not excluding those files.

excludes='"dir1/*" "dir2/*" "dir3/*"'
zip -r zipfile * -x $excludes 

Answer 1

您是否尝试过用反斜杠转义星号：

excludes='"dir1/\*"'

Answer 2

This should work:

zip -r zipfile * -x dir1/* dir2/* dir3/*

Or even this should work:

excludes='dir1/* dir2/* dir3/*'
zip -r zipfile * -x "$excludes"
