find command: names matching the expression
Hello all,

I need to print directories using find command. The directories names contain date in the format YYYYMMDD or the name of directory is only the date format. I want print directories, which doesn't start with this date.

E.g I have dirs like
Code:
foo20120101
foo20120101foo
20120101foo
20120101

I want to print
Code:
foo20120101
foo20120101foo

And what if I want to print all dirs but not the one which name is only from date?
the output shoul be like:
Code:
foo20120101
foo20120101foo
20120101foo

Thank you very much for your time and help.

cmigrep

CMIGREP(1)						      General Commands Manual							CMIGREP(1)

NAME

       cmigrep - search in ocaml compiled interface files

SYNOPSIS

       cmigrep <options> <module-expression>

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page  documents  briefly the cmigrep command.  This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the
       original program does not have a manual page.

       cmigrep allows to search for information in compiled interfaces of OCaml modules.  By default, the search applies to the modules  described
       in the .cmi files in the curent directory and in the ocaml standard directory, but this can be changed with the -I option (see below).

       The  argument  <module-expr>  can  be  an  exact  module  name, or a shell wildcard. Multiple modules can be specified. Example: "ModA ModB
       Foo*.Make" means to search ModA, ModB, and any submodule Make of a module that starts with Foo.

OPTIONS

   General Options
       -I directory
	      Add directory to the search path for modules

       -package packages
	      comma separated list of findlib packages to search

       open modules
	      comma separated list of open modules (in order!)

       -help, --help
	      display list of options

   Search Patterns
       -t regexp
	      print types with matching names

       -r regexp
	      print record field labels with matching names

       -c regexp
	      print constructors with matching names

       -p regexp
	      print polymorphic variants with matching names

       -m regexp
	      print all matching module names in the path

       -e regexp
	      print exceptions with matching constructors

       -v regexp
	      print values with matching names

       -o regexp
	      print all classes with matching names

       -a regexp
	      print all names which match the given expression
