Excluding results from grep

  • 772

So I have a project under svn and I'm searching the file contents. In the result set I get .svn files that I don't want actually to see. for example:

$ grep -i -r "breadcrumb" . -l
./terms_and_conditions/.svn/text-base/index.tpl.svn-base
./terms_and_conditions/.svn/tmp/index.tpl.tmp 
./terms_and_conditions/.svn/tmp/index.tpl.3.tmp
./terms_and_conditions/.svn/tmp/index.tpl.2.tmp
./terms_and_conditions/index.tpl
./privacy/.svn/text-base/index.tpl.svn-base
./privacy/.svn/tmp/index.tpl.tmp
./privacy/.svn/tmp/index.tpl.3.tmp
./privacy/.svn/tmp/index.tpl.2.tmp
./privacy/index.tpl

how can I exclude the files under ".svn" directories from the result set so that I only get

./terms_and_conditions/index.tpl
./privacy/index.tpl
command-line

    Pipe those through:

    grep -v '/\.svn/'
