Hi to all the list, i have a project with a lot of bash scripts in a folder hierarchy.I haven't wrote the project myself so many times i have to search for the definition of a function. For this purpose i decided to use grep {recursively}. The problem is that the project is an svn repository... so grep returns results from .svn and it is really messes up the outcome of grep. I tried bypassing the problem using the `--exclude=file_pattern' but since its use is for files not directories it doesn't work.... So the questions are:
1) Can i bypass certain directories{i.e. '.svn' or 'log/'}, using grep? {or a combination of tools + grep} 2) Is there any other tool you would use for this job? thanks in advance for your help, -nicolas PS: if it matters i prefer using gnu grep. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
