title: Create symbolic link excluding some files in a directory
body: <p>Is it possible to symbolic link in Linux excluding some types of files or folders ? For example if I want to symlink a folder "folder1" which has the following files and folders</p>
  
  <pre><code>   -folder1  
      -1.json  
      -2.json  
      -3.xml  
      -4.json  
      -5.xml  
      -folder2  
      -folder3
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is it possible to exclude the *.xml files and say folder3 when symlinking ? If yes then how ?</p>
