OR # find /tmp/ ! -name "*linux*" ! -name "*lvm*" -type f | xargs grep -w testįind xargs with NOT operator to exclude files-2Īgain similar to find with exec, we can use find with xargs combined with prune to exclude certain files. Now we will adapt this syntax into our example to grep recursively with find command: # find /tmp/ ! -name "*linux*" ! -name "*lvm*" -type f -print0 | xargs -0 grep -w testįind xargs with NOT operator to exclude files-1 The general syntax here would be: find PATH -type f ! -name ! -name | xargs grep Īlternate Method: find PATH -type f ! -name ! -name -print0 xargs -0 grep Exclude specific files, folders or parts of code from results of Semgrep scans in your repository or working directory. Now similar to find with exec, we can also use the same NOT( !) operator with xargs. Method 3: using find with xargs (NOT operator) You can also use -exclude to search every file except the ones that match your pattern.

The general syntax to use this method would be: find PATH -type f ! -name ! -name -exec grep \ GIT-GREP(1) Git Manual GIT-GREP(1) NAME git-grep - Print lines matching a pattern SYNOPSIS git grep -a -text -I -textconv -i -ignore-case -w. In this example we will use find command to exclude certain files while grepping for a string by using NOT ( !) operator. Method 1: using find with exec (NOT operator) In the below examples we will " Search for test string in all files except the files that contains lvm and linux in the filename" Now similar to our last section, we will use find and other tools to exclude certain pre-defined filenames while trying to grep recursively any pattern or string. Grep for string by excluding pre-defined files

Example 1: Grep for “test” string under any symlinks and file under /tmp/dirĪLSO READ: Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL2) on Windows 10 (Step-by-Step) grep recursively with -includeĤ.

Grep recursively for files with symbolic links

Example 2: Grep for multiple strings in single file.

Example 1: Grep multiple patterns inside directories and sub-directories.

Grep for multiple patterns with recursive search

Method 4: using find with xargs (prune).

Method 3: using find with xargs (NOT operator).

Method 1: using find with exec (NOT operator).

Grep for a string only in pre-defined files Example 1: Grep for exact match recursively.In order to exclude specified terms, the inverted match is used for the grep.

#GREP EXCLUDE DIRECTORY HOW TO#

In this tutorial, we examine how to exclude in grep with the simple term, word, multiple terms, etc.

Grep exact match in a file recursively inside all sub-directories The grep is regularly used with a search term that is expected to match but in some cases, we may need to exclude the specified term or terms.

Example 1: Search for string “test” inside /tmp/dir recursively.
