<h3>Grepping directories with ECB</h3>
<p>ECB offers in the popup-menus in the directories- and
sources-tree-buffer commands for easy (recursive) grepping the current
directory under point (directory-buffer) rsp. the current-directory
(sources-buffer). In every case just the function of the options
<code>ecb-grep-function</code> rsp. <code>ecb-grep-find-function</code> is called
and the <code>default-directory</code> is tempor. set to the chosen
directory so the grep will performed in this directory regardless of
the <code>default-directory</code> of current buffer in the edit-window.
<p>Other smart things beyond that are not done by ECB, see also
<code>ecb-grep-function</code>!
<p>So, how to exclude some subdirectories or files from the grep?
<p>Basically this has to be done with the "-prune" option of the
find-utility: If the standard-grep facility of Emacs is used then this
is not easy but with the library <code>igrep.el</code> there is a convenient
way to exclude things like CVS- or RCS-directories from the find-call:
See the variable <code>igrep-find-prune-clause</code> of the library
<code>igrep.el</code>.
