# Exclude A Specific File From fd Results
|
|
|
|
I recent wrote a
|
|
[`cat-to-markdown`](https://github.com/jbranchaud/dotfiles/blob/my-dotfiles/bin/cat-to-markdown)
|
|
script that can be piped a list of files from the output of another command to
|
|
do its thing. I then used [`fd`](https://github.com/sharkdp/fd) to list a
|
|
specific set of files by extension that could be piped to this command.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
fd -e js | cat-to-markdown | pbcopy
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This worked, but I quickly realized that one of the JavaScript files included in
|
|
that listing was massive and didn't need to be included.
|
|
|
|
To exclude it from the list I can use the `-E` flag and then name the file like
|
|
so:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
fd -e js -E super-large-file.js | cat-to-markdown | pbcopy
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
I believe this can be an exact match file path or even a pattern that matches
|
|
multiple files.
|
|
|
|
See `man fd` for more details.
