Post #3969934

On the command line, sometimes I want to tell a tool (e.g. grep) to look in all directories except for one or two. This can be done with shell wildcards/globs. All entries in the current directory: grep -r 'honk honk' * Subdirectories only: grep -r 'honk honk' */ All subdirectories except for _build: grep -r 'honk honk' !(_build)/ All subdirectories except for _build and cache: grep -r 'honk honk' !(_build|cache)/ #bash
