Subject: Globbing question
Date: Mon, 18 Nov 2013 11:45:43 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20131118104543.GA15404@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
Assuming I have a directory with some files and some
subdirectories, e.g.
subdir/
anothersubdir/
...
subdir123/
git/
file
anotherfile
I'm looking for a globbing pattern that matches all plain files in
all subdirectories except "git". The pattern
$ ls -d ^git(/)
gives me all directories except "git", but the next one produces
an error message:
$ ls -d ^git(/)/**/*(.)
zsh: bad pattern: ^git(/)/**/*(.)
So my questions are:
1. Why does this pattern not work; what am I missing?
2. What is the correct pattern for the task at hand?
(Note: The reason why I need to exclude "git" from the pattern is
that there are too many files in that directory, so I get an
"zsh: argument list too long" error.)
Ciao
Dominik ^_^ ^_^
