Hi, i want to diff two directory, but ignore subdirectory.
For example:
i want to compare new directory and old directory, but i want to ignore old’s a directory.
when use the command as follow:
diff -Nr --exclude=old/a new old, it will print the difference between old/a and new
But i want to ignore the old/a directory:(
The man page tell me —exclude means When comparing directories, ignore files and subdirectories whose basenames match pattern.
So it means it cannot ignore subdirectory like aa/bb?
Guys tell me how to deal with, pleas:)
