exclude files and folder matching certain pattern

[ainthek]

Please would it be possible to add some way to exclude files and folders (globbing). in the API as well on CLI please

[gkz]

Can you give an example use case?

[ainthek]

Sure: codereviews often I need to exclude test folders, or special files

grasp -s "" -r . --exclude="/test/" --exclude="/tests/" --exclude "*/.profile.js",

now I have only two options, build a list of included folders (extra work and limitation of args length) or to grasp ... | grep -v "/test/" after processing, on large repo this is annoying and takes ages..

Thanx for help
