Vim: Ignore Special Path in Search
set path=~/nbapp/**
set backupdir=~/nbapp/temp
The first line allows me to search in my project directory and subdirectories. The second line makes vim create backup files in a special temporary folder, rather than disturbing me by adding tens of backup files having the exact same name except for a '~' at the end. However, since the temporary files are still inside the 'nbapp' folder (and I want to keep them there because they are related to the project), it means th开发者_C百科ey are also going to be searched when I make a search, which sometimes disturb me, because I keep looking at searched results, yet to discover that they are actually in the temporary folder.
Is there any possible way to exclude paths from search (i.e. vimgrep)? I want to exclude the 'temp' folder.
Regards,
RafidUse the 'wildignore' option:
:set wildignore+=**/temp/**
or if you would like to be more specific:
:set wildignore+=~/nbapp/temp/**
This should exlude all files in the nbapp/temp directory in :find result.
Instead of vimgrep I use the grep command
:help grep
I use the setting
set grepprg=grep\ -nIh\ --exclude=tags\ --exclude=cscope.out
when I want to search files but excluding the tag files and cscope files. You could modify the above to not search any files ending with a ~. I don't think you can exclude the folder using grep (or maybe you can, try --exclude=~/nbapp/temp/* it might work I haven't tested it).
If that does not work I recomend using ack for the grepprg instead of grep. ack as an option ignore-dir=name in which you can explicitly ignore a folder.
To exclude some dirs from :find
and gf
(for example node_modules
)
you can set:
:set path=**
:set wildignore+=*/node_modules/*
For example in Ubuntu just
sudo apt-get install ack-grep
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/ack-grep /usr/bin/ack
then install http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2572
and now add next line to your .vimrc
noremap <C-f> :copen<CR>:Ack --ignore-dir #first_ignore_dir# --ignore-dir #second_ignore_dir# -ai
- its open search frame by Ctr+F, have fun
set path-=~/nbapp/temp
is the preferred method of removing path entries, as it guards you against vim upgrades that may modify the value of 'path'.
