          This seems to work:



          let NERDTreeIgnore=['(.txt|.md)@<!$[[file]]']


          This will ignore all files that don't end in .txt OR (|) .md.



          It matches the atom .txt OR .md and then uses the @<! operand (see :help @<!) to match if the preceding atom does NOT match just before $ (the end of the line). The [[file]] at the end is NERDTree internals that specifies files instead of directories. If you don't use this directories that don't end in that file extension will be ignored too.

          • So for multiple extensions I just need to add multiple lines of the similar code, and directories that don't have those filetypes will be ignored in the tree? Thanks!
