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:) ├── new │ ├── a │ ├── a.txt │ ├── b │ └── c └── old ├── a │ ├── 1 │ ├── 2 │ └── 3 ├── a.txt ├── b └── c — Sent from Mailbox
