How can I get `find` to ignore .svn directories?

I often use the find command to search through source code, delete files, whatever. Annoyingly, because Subversion stores duplicates of each file in its .svn/text-base/ directories my simple searches end up getting lots of duplicate results. For example, I want to recursively search for uint in multiple messages.h and messages.cpp files:

# find -name 'messages.*' -exec grep -Iw uint {} +
./messages.cpp:            Log::verbose << "Discarding out of date message: id " << uint(olderMessage.id)
./messages.cpp:    Log::verbose << "Added to send queue: " << *message << ": id " << uint(preparedMessage->id)
./messages.cpp:                Log::error << "Received message with invalid SHA-1 hash: id " << uint(incomingMessage.id)
./messages.cpp:            Log::verbose << "Received " << *message << ": id " << uint(incomingMessage.id)
./messages.cpp:            Log::verbose << "Sent message: id " << uint(preparedMessage->id)
./messages.cpp:        Log::verbose << "Discarding unsent message: id " << uint(preparedMessage->id)
./messages.cpp:        for (uint i = 0; i < 10 && !_stopThreads; ++i) {
./.svn/text-base/messages.cpp.svn-base:            Log::verbose << "Discarding out of date message: id " << uint(olderMessage.id)
./.svn/text-base/messages.cpp.svn-base:    Log::verbose << "Added to send queue: " << *message << ": id " << uint(preparedMessage->id)
./.svn/text-base/messages.cpp.svn-base:                Log::error << "Received message with invalid SHA-1 hash: id " << uint(incomingMessage.id)
./.svn/text-base/messages.cpp.svn-base:            Log::verbose << "Received " << *message << ": id " << uint(incomingMessage.id)
./.svn/text-base/messages.cpp.svn-base:            Log::verbose << "Sent message: id " << uint(preparedMessage->id)
./.svn/text-base/messages.cpp.svn-base:        Log::verbose << "Discarding unsent message: id " << uint(preparedMessage->id)
./.svn/text-base/messages.cpp.svn-base:        for (uint i = 0; i < 10 && !_stopThreads; ++i) {
./virus/messages.cpp:void VsMessageProcessor::_progress(const string &fileName, uint scanCount)
./virus/messages.cpp:ProgressMessage::ProgressMessage(const string &fileName, uint scanCount)
./virus/messages.h:    void _progress(const std::string &fileName, uint scanCount);
./virus/messages.h:    ProgressMessage(const std::string &fileName, uint scanCount);
./virus/messages.h:    uint        _scanCount;
./virus/.svn/text-base/messages.cpp.svn-base:void VsMessageProcessor::_progress(const string &fileName, uint scanCount)
./virus/.svn/text-base/messages.cpp.svn-base:ProgressMessage::ProgressMessage(const string &fileName, uint scanCount)
./virus/.svn/text-base/messages.h.svn-base:    void _progress(const std::string &fileName, uint scanCount);
./virus/.svn/text-base/messages.h.svn-base:    ProgressMessage(const std::string &fileName, uint scanCount);
./virus/.svn/text-base/messages.h.svn-base:    uint        _scanCount;

How can I tell find to ignore the .svn directories?

Update: If you upgrade your SVN client to version 1.7 this is no longer an issue.

A key feature of the changes introduced in Subversion 1.7 is the centralization of working copy metadata storage into a single location. Instead of a .svn directory in every directory in the working copy, Subversion 1.7 working copies have just one .svn directory—in the root of the working copy. This directory includes (among other things) an SQLite-backed database which contains all of the metadata Subversion needs for that working copy.

Python: Find in list

I have come across this delightful:

item = someSortOfSelection()
if item in myList:
    doMySpecialFunction(item)

but sometimes it does not work with all my items, as if they weren't recognized in the list (when it's a list of string).

is it the most 'pythonic' way of finding an item in a list: if x in l:?

How do I find all of the symlinks in a directory tree?

I'm trying to find all of the symlinks within a directory tree for my website. I know that I can use find to do this but I can't figure out how to recursively check the directories.

The command I'm using at the moment is

find /var/www/ -type l

How do I get this to check subdirectories?

Update:

I just discovered that the contents in /var/www are symlinks. I've changed the command to

find -L /var/www/ -type l

and it take a while to run, however I'm getting no matches.

How to use 'find' to search for files created on a specific date? [closed]

How do I use the UNIX command find to search for files created on a specific date?

find without recursion

Is it possible to use the find command in some way that it will not recurse into the sub-directories? For example,

DirsRoot
  |-->SubDir1
  |    |-OtherFile1
  |-->SubDir2
  |    |-OtherFile2
  |-File1
  |-File2

And the result of something like find DirsRoot --donotrecuourse -type f will be only File1, File2?

How to only get file name with linux `find`?

I'm using find to all files in directory, so I get a list of paths. However, I need only file names. i.e. I get ./dir1/dir2/file.txt and I want to get file.txt

Using grep to find files that don't contain a given string pattern

I'm using the following command in my web application to find all files in the current directory that contain the string foo (leaving out svn directories).

find .  -not  -ipath '.*svn*' -exec  grep -H -E -o  "foo"  {} \; > grep_results.txt

How do I find out the files that doesn't contain the word foo?

How to pipe list of files returned by find command to cat to view all the files

How to check if a value exists in a dictionary (python)

Hi I have the following dictionary in python:

d = {'1': 'one', '3': 'three', '2': 'two', '5': 'five', '4': 'four'}

I need a way to find if a value such as "one" or "two" exists in this dictionary.

For example, if I wanted to know if the index "1" existed I would simply have to type:

"1" in d

And then python would tell me if that is true or false, however I need to do that same exact thing except to find if a value exists. Thanks for any help.

Exclude directory from find . command

I'm trying to run a find command for all JavaScript files, but how do I exclude a specific directory?

Here is the find code we're using.

How can I exclude all "permission denied" messages from "find"?

I need to hide all permission denied messages from:

find . > files_and_folders

I am experimenting when such message arises. I need to gather all folders and files, to which it does not arise.

Is it possible to direct the permission levels to the files_and_folders file?

How can I hide the errors at the same time?

Find duplicate lines in a file and count how many time each line was duplicated?

Suppose I have a file similar to the following:

123 
123 
234 
234 
123 
345

I would like to find how many times '123' was duplicated, how many times '234' was duplicated, etc. So ideally, the output would be like:

123  3 
234  2 
345  1
