How to prune multiple branches with find?
I wanted to prune multiple branches and only the first one is being pruned. What am I doing wrong?
I tried using "-a" instead of "-o" with no luck! Also, is there an easier way to accommodate file names with spaces other than that sed command? Thanks, Siegfried /usr/bin/find . \( -path ./Application/PRD -prune -o -path ./setup/products/PRDWeb -prune -o -path ./products/PRDWeb -prune \) -o -print | sed -e 's/^.*$/"\0"/' | xargs grep -in "PRD\\(WEB\\(UID\\|PWD\\|SERVER\\)\\|UID\\|PWD\\|USERNAME\\|PASSWORD\\|SERVER\\)"

Your pruning example works for me.
If your find understands -print0 then the sed is necessary. You should of course also tell xargs to use zero-terminated strings with -0 (maybe that's your problem?)
