hi era,

how to view all extensioned files except a particular extension.
(e.g) want to view all other files except (*.txt and *.doc)

If your find has the -prune option, use that.

Or you can use -o to bypass matching files:

Code:

find /home/karthik/test/?? -name '*.txt' -o -name '*.doc' -o -type f -exec ls -l {} \;
