Hi.

The command glark has a number of builtin file matching features, e.g.
--without-basename EXPR, --without-name EXPR
Do not search files with base names matching the given
regular
expression.

It is in Debian repositories, also at http://www.incava.org/projects/
glark/

The disadvantage is that it requires ruby and is slower than grep ...
cheers, makyo
