Hi,
While I've been able to find varying amounts of information on the net I
haven't found quite enough to get the following working.
I would like to condense the following into a single grep / glob
expression where I search recursively through a directory tree, ignoring
any sub-trees starting with 'test' or 'target'.
grep <pattern> **/*.groovy | egrep -v "(/test/|/target/)"
While I found information about ^(xxx) it wasn't clear how to have
multiple expressions to ignore.
Am I right in thinking I can add (.) to e.g. *.groovy to ensure I only
search for files as well ?
I think what you want is
grep <pattern> (^(test|target)/)#*.groovy(.)
