# Filter the Exported Data (continue)

__*Dumpling data filtering*__
__*Dumpling data filtering*__
__*Dumpling —filter*__

+ Use the —filter option to filter data
  + `./dumpling -u root -P 4000 -h 127.0.0.1 -o /tmp/test -r 200000 --filter "employees.*" --filter "*.WorkOrder"`

-------------------------------------------------------------
Dumpling can filter specific library tables by specifying table-filter with —filter. The syntax of table-filter is similar to .gitignore, see https://docs.pingcap.com/zh/tidb/stable/table-filter for more syntax.

```
./dumpling -u root -P 4000 -h 127.0.0.1 -o /tmp/test -r 200000 --filter "employees.*" --filter "*.WorkOrder"

```

The above command will export all the tables in the employees database and the WorkOrder table in all databases.
