OK, but first any help with grep --exclude? (Score:1)

by mr_bean (3802)

I'm interested, because using :grep in vim fills up my buffer list with blib/lib files.

If I could get :grep --exclude to work, I might be less interested.

What's the correct way to use grep --exclude to exclude blib/lib files? I can never get it to work.

  Don't bother with the grep. Get ack to take care of it. It ignores .svn and blib, and you can use --perl to only find Perl files.

    With :se grepprg=ack, I can use ack in vim, and avoid all the buffer list pollution with blib/lib files and backup files I had using grep.
