Exclude .svn directories from grep [duplicate]

Answer 1

Two greps will do the trick:

1. The first grep will get everything.

2. The second grep will use output of first grep as input (via piping). By using the -v flag, grep will select the lines which DON'T match the search terms. Voila. You are left with all the ouputs from the first grep which do not contain .svn in the filepath.

   -v, --invert-match Invert the sense of matching, to select non-matching lines.

   grep the_text_you_want_to_search_for * | grep -v .svn
