Question about wildcard exclusions

[jim53]

I'm new here so excuse me if I've posted inappropriately, correct me once and I promise to not make the same mistake 2x.

My question is this:
If I use the wild card as so: video/category/*/*/
Will it also exclude video/category/*/

Also, If I use photo/category/*/ will it also exclude photo/category/*/*/ photo/category/*/*/* etc..
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello,

1. correct wildmark setting would be with dots:
video/category/.*/.*/
instead of:
video/category/*/*/

2. "video/category/.*/.*/" will NOT exclude video/category/X/

3. but "video/category/.*/" WILL exclude video/category/X/X/
(".*" means any sequence of characters)
