How do I tell Agent Ransack to avoid a particular path/filename pattern?

Question

I've started using Agent Ransack to search an entire directory at once looking for a particular string. The only issue I have with it so far is that if I'm searching in a Subversion working copy, it finds the string in the .svn folders, which of course is not what I want. Is there a way to tell it to ignore any directory named .svn as well as any subdirectories of a .svn directory?

Answer 1

It's not possible in the free version. Your best bet is to make sure you include the file extension and then it'll exclude the svn-base files, e.g.

*.cs;*.vb

Answer 2

You can do it, if you turn on the File Name match by Regular Expression in the Tab Options. Then use a expression like .*jsp$, this will exclude all SVN control files of the results.
