Operating Systems Solaris How to find (specific) directories in SunOS 5.9? Post 302390265 by tbeer on Wednesday 27th of January 2010 10:58:37 AM

Thank you very much for your help. However, I still have a few more questions ...
What you are trying to do seems rather straight forward. It can be done using basic scripting.
What do you mean with "basic scripting"? May you provide me a link to further information?
If you are needing to exclude directories using the find command, look at using the -prune argument i.e #find / -name foo -prune -o -print This will find all files but exclude everything with "foo".
As far as I know this works for "one" directory only, i.e., it does not work for a path like "data/test".
