Grep --exclude

grep TEXT --exclude "yourfile.txt"

    --exclude pattern
            If specified, it excludes files matching the given filename pattern from the search.  Note that --exclude and --include
            patterns are processed in the order given.  If a name matches multiple patterns, the latest matching rule wins.  If no
            --include pattern is specified, all files are searched that are not excluded.  Patterns are matched to the full path
            specified, not only to the filename component.
