Stories similar to FIND: Combining -size & -prune

Hello, I am using ksh93 (/usr/dt/bin/dtksh) on Solaris and am stuck when trying to use find with the -prune option.

I need to search a directory (supplied in a variable) for files matching a certain pattern, but ignore any sub-directories.

I have tried:

Code: find ${full_path_to_dir_to_search} -type f -name "*.dat" -print -o -type d -prune which produces no output.

:)Hi Unix Specialists,

I need your advice on how to find all the files from root ( / ) filesystem but exclude those from /export/home (different filesystem) folder.

If I type ls *ro* I also get files in subdirectories that match the *ro* pattern. Is there any option for ls similar to prune?

Ideally a flag, otherwise perhaps an exec?

Using the find command 1 year 6 days ago

Hello,

I know find can be prevented from recursing into directories with something like the following...

Code: find . -name .svn -prune -a type d But how can I completely prevent directories of a certain name (.svn) from being displayed at all, the top level and the children?

I really appreciate any help you can give me.

Thanks.

FIND w/ multiple expressions 43 weeks 6 days ago

For reference i am still a newb at scripting, but i have what i think is a complex issue.

I need to run a FIND on / to identify all files and print them to >> $TEMPFILE I need to avoid MVFS I need to avoid /var/tmp/nastmp/

I was trying find / \( -type d -name nastmp -prune \) -a \( -fstype mvfs \) -print

But this is not working at all.

I'm building a backup script where some directories should not be included in the backup archive.

cd /; find .
