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/)"
Or a zsh-less solution:
$ grep -R --include="*.groovy" --exclude-dir=test --exclude-dir=target a .
If the tree is in version control, there's another way:
rm -rf **/(test|target)(N)
grep needle **/.haystack
