Listing folders that have a file inside them
Hi guys,

I'm new to the forums and putting my foot in the door with SED and AWK. I was wondering if someone could help me as I think I'm making this harder than it needs to be...

I have a list of folders named as urls, inside these are log files and possibly a 'status' file. I'm trying to get a list of folders that do not have the file called 'status'.

So if the folder url2 has status the list would be:
url1
url3

The current command I'm using is:
Code:
ls -R | grep -v "****-**-**.log.*" | sed -n '/.\/www.*.*/,+1p'

At the moment this is giving me the following:
./url1

./url2
status

./url3

Any help would be much appreciated, only I only used the grep -v command because I was spending so much time on the regex haha.

zgrep

ZGREP(1)						      General Commands Manual							  ZGREP(1)

NAME

       zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression

SYNOPSIS

       zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...

DESCRIPTION

       Zgrep  invokes  grep  on  compressed  or  gzipped  files.   These  grep	options  will  cause  zgrep  to  terminate  with  an  error  code:
       (-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*).  All other options specified are passed directly to grep.  If no file is specified,  then  the
       standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep.  Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep.

       If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked.

EXIT CODE

       2 - An option that is not supported was specified.
