Patch looks good and is helpful in some usecases. I found and fix some typo (new version in attach), but patch shows some inconsistent output: % pg_dump -t 'aaa*' postgres pg_dump: No matching tables were found % pg_dump -t 'aaa*' --strict-names postgres pg_dump: Table "aaa*" not found.
In second case error message is obviously worse.
There are two different situation - first message says "there are not any table for work", second says "There are not specific table(s) with specific names (mask)". I am thinking so this information is enough interesting for showing.
Can be changed to "No matching table(s) were found for filter "aaa*" " ?
