Hi,
I am trying find the correct syntax for grep a directory and excluding
certain files from the output.
EXCEPTIONS="ttyC4 ttyC5"
command ls /var/lock | grep tty[SC] | {filter out $EXCEPTIONS}
I can filter out the exception with "grep -v ttyC4 | grep -v ttyC0", but
I need to be able to feed it a variable that contians a list of some
sort.
thanks in advance :-)
