Hello,
I want to compare the contents of two large directories whilst omitting
two subdirectories console5/ and console7/ common to both. But using any
combination of
diff -rq /d1 /d2 -x console
diff -rq /d1 /d2 -x console.
diff -rq /d1 /d2 -x "console./"
(and several others I thought might work) the subdirectories are not
skipped.
(I've tried -X with a file argument though I prefer -x with a pattern
argument as above with no requirement to create files. Also, I would
like to utilise the trailing / after -x so that any files that happened
to be named console* would undergo comparison, only the subdirectories
are skipped.)
Any ideas?
Fergus
