dired listing (dont display ~ files)

[David Holden]

Hi, 

 Does anyone know how I can get emacs Dired not to display files with ~
on the end, e.g. backup files in the C-f listing of a directory.


Below is my .emacs file, I though the line

 '(dired-omit-files "^\\.?#\\|^\\.$\\|^\\.\\.$|^.*~$")

would do it but it doesn't, any ideas,

 


 thanks in advance,

     Dave.
