use find to generate print list
In the "find" man page is an example which uses (1) "-prune" to
exclude a directory and (2) "! -name '*~'" to exclude both files and
directories the name of which end in "~":
find . -name .snapshot -prune -o \( \! -name '*~' -print0 \)|
cpio -pmd0 /dest-dir
I have tried without success to alter the command so as to prune two
directories (".git" and "projectlog") and to execute "enscript" to
print each file (not a list of filenames).
A crude work-around is to generate a file containing the list of files
discovered by "find":
find . -name .git -prune -o \! -name '*~' -print > printlist
then edit the list to create a script for printing,
editing out all files in the "projectlog" directory:
!#/bin/bash
enscript file1
enscript file2
...
exit
