wildcards don't seem to be working in "--limit"

[alexandernst]

I'm trying to dump a Django project, so I did --limit="django_* = *,table_foo=15,*=15", which I was expecting to dump 15 rows from foo and all rows from all the tables that start with django_ (namely django_migrations and django_site). After inspecting the result I found out that only 15 rows were dumped from django_* tables.

Try using --limit="django_.*=*" The left side is treated as a full regular expression.

I see the example in the docs is misleading: --limit="forums.* = *"

That should really be --limit="forums\..*=*"
