i have directory called test
has sub folders in date range 01
,02
,...31
. sub folders contain .bz2 files in it. need search files .bz2 extension using find command excluding particular range of directories. know find . -name ".bz2" -not -path "./01/*"
, writing -not -path "./01/*"
pathetic if want skip 10 directories. how skip 01..19
subdirectories in find
command ?
you can use wildcards in pattern option -not -path
:
find ./ -type f -name "*.bz2" -not -path "./0*/*" -not -path "./1*/*
this exclude directories starting 0 or 1. or better:
find ./ -type f -name "*.bz2" -not -path "./[01]*/*"
