Hi all,

I've got a whole lot of source code, with two different versions living in 
different directories. One directory holds a branch, the other the 
mainline. Each directory has many and numerous subdirectories and source 
files. This software uses maven to build, which describes the basic layout. 
There are many sub-projects, I think maybe 45 of them, all in their own 
sub-directory. 

The source consists of java, actionScript, xml, etc. 

In one of these versions, I've executed a build. This generates additional 
directories and files, which mostly live in a directory named "target". 
I've not executed a build in the other version, so it doesn't have that 
target directory.

I want to compare files in these versions, but I don't want to look in the 
"target" directory, or its sub-directories. 

I created a BBEdit filter for this. The first field contains a grep pattern 
for the filename suffixes. The second field contains the folder I want to 
exclude, using File Path - does not include - "target"

This filter works great when I want to search one of the directories for 
some string. When comparing my two application versions it doesn't work 
that well. I see all kinds of stuff that exists in one but not the other. 
Most of the stuff lives in the target directory. If this were just a few 
items, I could ignore them, but it's HUNDREDS of items I have to scroll 
past, or close the triangle or something. Lots of stuff just gets in the 
way.

Is there a way to exclude the target directory? 

Thanks!
