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

You could use find and awk to build the list of directories and then store the result in a variable. Something along the lines of this (untested):

dirs=$(find this_folder -maxdepth 1 -type d -printf "%f\n" | awk '!match($0,/^(global|plugins|css)$/)')
for d in $dirs; do
    # ...
done

Update 2019-05-16:

while read -r d; do
    # ...
done < <(gfind  -maxdepth 1 -type d -printf "%f\n" | awk '!match($0,/^(global|plugins|css)$/)')
