Nerdtree: Ignore files and directories

[BigfootN]

Hello,

I am trying to hide the build directory in NERDTree. But unfortunately I haven't succeeded.

Here is the option I have used:

let NERDTreeIgnore = ['\build$']

Environment

• Operating System: archlinux
• Vim version : version: NVIM v0.2.3-785-gb22d3385b
• NERDTree version: It is the latest (I use vim-plug)

Thank you very much in advance.

You should have used.

let g:NERDTreeIgnore = ['^build$']

Thank you very much for your precious help.

Problem solved.

The strings in that list are regular expressions, so the \ is tyring to escape the b that follows it. The \ is not a path separator. Your regular expression should look like this: ^build$ This will ignore all files and folders named build, but it won't hide ones like building. Additionally, you can use a special NERDTree flag to hide only folders:

let NERDTreeIgnore = ['^build$[[dir]]']
