BASH: traverse *some* directories

[randytheram]

I have an array setup:

nodirs=("virtfs" "lost+found" "domlogs")

for x in `ls /home`
do
if [-d $x ]
then
echo $x
fi
done

That will print and output of all dirs under home, I want to avoid anything in the 'nodirs' array. I plan on going into each of those dirs and doing trivial task like 'du' and other things.

BASH array is very difficult for conditional. If anyone could help with conditional so it no traverse into any value in 'nodirs' array I would be greatful much so.

you could pass the result through egrep with -v to negate the match:

ls /home | egrep -v "virtfs|lost\+found|domlogs"
