Wildcard Scanning Exclusions: filter files with certain extension under a directory

Hi,

I'm just trying to understand the following help:

https://docs.sophos.com/central/Customer/help/en-us/central/Customer/common/references/ExclusionVariablesWindows.html

I like to achieve, that for example all *.txt files under a certain directory like c:\temp (including all *.txt files in subdirectories) will be excluded.

I would write the rule like that:

c:\temp\**\*.txt

Is that ok?  I'm afraid that all directories named like *.txt including all files under the directory will be excluded additionally...

If I wanted to do that, I would write it the following way (with additional backslash "\")

c:\temp\**\*.txt\

What irritates me, ist the following description in the link:

C:\foo\*.txt

C:\foo\*.txt

All files or folders contained in C:\foo named *.txt.

It is written that all files OR folders will be excluded.

Regards
