excluding .git directories

[flethuseo]

Hi all,

What regular expression do I use to omit all .git subdirectories. I can do so successfully for the current directory, but can't get it to do it for all subdirectories (recursively).

You forgot to say what operation you were trying to do.

If it's find in files then the help file says

Exclude - Paths, files, or file types can be excluded from a multi-file search by specifying them with wildcards or full path names. To specify multiple patterns, separate them with semicolons (colons on UNIX). No files are searched in a path that is excluded, including any files in sub-directories beneath. See examples of exclude patterns, below.

So *.git* should exclude any path with .git in its name.  If it doesn't work you could report it to SlickEdit Inc and maybe get a hotfix.

For excluding subdirectories, I use the syntax "name\"
So, in FindAndReplace, I use something like this for exclusion:
    *.o;.git\;*.exe

This also works in "add tree" for a project.

I don't think Slick supports "*" or other patterns for directory exclusions.

Yes, I forgot to specify where.. I meant on the Project properties, add tree. I was adding the .git part incorrectly something like this **/*.git*, but .git\ worked fine.
