excluding one folder

[splaisan]

As from #9, could you please provide a find piping example command to exclude the folder donotinclude in a situation like below but processing all the rest recursively. I have tried find but could not make it to exclude it because of -r

Top
--file1
--file2
--subfolder1
--subfolder2
--donotinclude

The --exclude is only for file types and excluding folders would really be nice to have

my curren tcommand for full rhash

rhash -Mr Top -o myhash.md5

[rhash]

You should construct file list with find command and pass it to rhash:

find Top -type f -not -regex '.*/donotinclude/.*' > /tmp/file-list.txt && rhash -M --file-list /tmp/file-list.txt

Recently I fixed a bug with reading a file-list from standard input.

After the commit b8514dd (fixed again by d10d941) you can use a shorter command:

find Top -type f -not -regex '.*/donotinclude/.*' | rhash -M --file-list -

Thanks you very much for this nice feature and example, now I can use rhash for my data checkup
cheers

Sorry, I don't know if I should have opened another issue or not.
I don't think it exists a similar command as "find" in Windows, also this way I can't use a relative path, so can you please think again about it?

@2324561w2, I've been thinking the same thing for a while now.

[rhash]

With RHash version 1.4.1 or higher, use Windows DIR and FINDSTR commands:

dir /S /B "C:\THE_FOLDER_TO_SEARCH" | findstr /V /I /C:"\\SOME_SUBFOLDER\\" | rhash -M --file-list -

The \\ sequence in the findstr /C: parameter represents character \. Actually any special character of \.*^$[] must be escaped by \. Check the help findstr output.

[satori80]

The --file-list - option doesn't seem to allow for "special" characters:

dir /s /b "“Test file”. whatever.txt" | rhash -H --file-list -
RHash: D:\test\"Test file". whatever.txt: No such file or directory

So, is this a bug in --file-list -, or is it the shell changing the quote style?
