| Is there a way to create a tar file and exclude a specific directory

| For example, I have a directory called /www/ and in that directory is
| another directory called  /www/test/  and I want to tar up the /www/
| directory but  I do not want the tar to include the /www/test/
directory but
| I do want the tar to include all the other sub-directories within /www/
|

See: man tar

In particular, the --exclude option.
