I tested it with '*svn*' and on cygwin grep which is:
grep (GNU grep) 2.5.1 and it worked. Strangely enough if I put '*.svn*' it didn't work. bob Gary Johnson wrote:
Hi Bob, That doesn't seem to work either. I executed the following: cd ~/.vim grep -Rli --exclude=\*syntax\* maintainer . and the results included files such as ./syntax/Decho.vim I also tried variations including --exclude=syntax --exclude=*syntax* --exclude='*syntax*' '--exclude=*syntax*' all with the same results.
