Below is an clip from treecmp. Treecmp is a utility to compare the differences (with diff) between two trees. I am having a problem whereby it is ignoring an entire directory of scripts. It is related to the "-I'$.*$' entry but I' afraid my regular expression knowledge is not helping me now. Can you help. Interpret the line below and win a bowl of gruel.

diff -qlr -I'$.*$' -X /usr/local/bin/excludes

Thanks in advance, please allow 6 - 8 weeks for delivery.
