toc macro Exclude does nothing

Question

We are running v3.4.9 of Confluence.

When I try to limit specific headings from appearing in the table of contents by using the exclude function of the toc macro, it never appears to have any impact on what is displayed. For example:

Markup

h1. Cassandra Demonstration Environment

----

{toc:exclude=.*Cassandra}

h1. 1       Introduction

h2. 1.1      Executive Summary

Displays the following
Cassandra Demonstration Environment

* Cassandra Demonstration Environment
* 1       Introduction
* 1.1      Executive Summary

I don't want the first bullet to appear, what am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Hi, *.Cassandra means anything that ends with Cassandra. I believe you need Cassandra* or something similar? Please give that a try.
