Exclude URLs

[accounts16]

Hi,

Do not know what to do. Have a news site with options (links) like: prin, send to friend
URLs are like

[ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]
[ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]
[ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]

so a went for Exclude URLs but excluded the numbers (52, 45 and so on) and the end of the URL.

This does not work

What should I do to have those URLSs Excluded?

Should I put * after sit=      (sit=*)  ?

Hi
Yes, but use a '?' instead if '*'

Heres an example of an exclude list I use on a domain
The SiteGenerator was picking up stuff like:

Code Select Expand

domain/blog/entry.html
domain/blog/entry.html?review=write

Don't need the review/comment on each page, so I ignore it by adding to the exclude list:

Code Select Expand

/*review=write

It follows the same protocol as the robots.txt ('?' = wildcard number, '*' = wildcard character)

Just the local path as per my exclude example 

Hi,

Eh, I am lost.

The URL goes:
h t t p : / / www. domain/ modules.php?name=News&file=friend&op=FriendSend&sid=21378

I removed h t t p : / / www. domain / - did not help.

Wold you rewrite this url thay way it should work, please.

Code Select Expand

/*sid=?

if the sid includes chars, not just numbers then do

Code Select Expand

/*sid=*


All subpages begin / afer the domain
the '*' means anything to the left of your static text 'sid='
The '?' means any number after (or '*' any character after)
