tar everything except the files (or some of files)

Using this command when want to tar everything in a folder except some of the files (binary files)


# tar -cjvf ../packed_no_bin.tar.bz2 * --exclude=*.gz --exclude=*.bin --exclude=*.rpm

if there's another file type that didn't want to tar just put another
--exclude=<pattern>
