# To grep for things excluding subversion .svn directories
find . -path '*/.svn' -prune -o -type f -print | xargs -e fgrep -I PATTERN
# To replace the same (using sed), only in files that grep matched, only in non .svn files.
find . -path '*/.svn' -prune -o -type f -print | xargs -e fgrep -l -I 'OLD' | xargs sed -i -e 's/OLD/NEW/g'
UPDATE 2009-02-09
I was browsing at Barnes and Noble over the weekend and the O'Reilly Pocket Guide to Grep mentioned an
--exclude-dir
option. I looked at the man page again and it's there too. I even googled again and found it right away. How did I miss it? That makes things much easier.
# To grep for things excluding subversion .svn directories
fgrep --exclude-dir='.svn' -rI PATTERN *
# To replace the same (using sed), only in files that grep matched, only in non .svn files.
fgrep --exclude-dir='.svn' -rIl 'OLD' * | xargs sed -i -e 's/OLD/NEW/g'
UPDATE 2010-03-31
# To find whole words, using an even briefer syntax for
# chaining the output of grep into the input for sed.
# Taken from a shell script that sets oldWord and
# newWord, but you get the idea:
sed -i -e "s/\<$oldWord\>/$newWord/g" $(fgrep --exclude-dir='.svn' -wrIl "$oldWord" *)
