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.
