.tfignore Office temporary files

Question

I'm having trouble ignoring the temporary files created by MS-Office, especially the ones from Excel.

The file is generated when you open some Excel file which is under version control and starts with ~$. It will instant be added to the included changes.

To prevent this I want to exclude this files using .tfignore but it does not work.

I added ~*.xlsx to my .tfignore file. But as mentioned it does not work.

Anybody out there who can help me?

Answer 1

~$* works just fine. Thanks to @YanSklyarenko
