for-loop for every folder in a directory, excluding some of them

Question

Thank you very much in advance for helping!

I have this code in bash:

for d in this_folder/*    
    do    
        plugin=$(basename $d)
        ech

If you have a recent version of bash, you can use extended globs (shopt -s extglob):

shopt -s extglob

for d in this_folder/!(global|plugins|css)/   
do    
    plugin=$(basename "$d")
    echo $plugin'?'
    read $plugin
done
