Find command to search files in a directory excluding subdirectories
Hi Forum,
I am using the below command to find files older than x days in a directory excluding subdirectories. From the previous forums I got to know that prune command helps us not to descend in subdirectories. Though I am using it here, not getting the desired result.
The output is :
I do not want the search to descend inside test_2 directory.
Also if I give the command
I get the output as:
Here I do not want the test_2 directory to be listed out. I want only the .dat files in the current directory. Please advise where am I going wrong.

File::Find::Rule::VCS(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation File::Find::Rule::VCS(3pm)NAME
File::Find::Rule::VCS - Exclude files/directories for Version Control Systems
SYNOPSIS
use File::Find::Rule ();
use File::Find::Rule::VCS ();
# Find all files smaller than 10k, ignoring version control files
my @files = File::Find::Rule->ignore_vcs
->file
->size('<10Ki')
->in( $dir );
DESCRIPTION
Many tools need to be equally useful both on ordinary files, and on code that has been checked out from revision control systems.
File::Find::Rule::VCS provides quick and convenient methods to exclude the version control directories of several major Version Control
Systems (currently CVS, subversion, and Bazaar).
File::Find::Rule::VCS implements methods to ignore the following:
CVS
Subversion
Bazaar
In addition, the following version control systems do not create directories in the checkout and do not require the use of any ignore
methods
SVK
Git
METHODS
ignore_vcs
# Ignore all common version control systems
$find->ignore_vcs;
# Ignore a specific named version control systems
$find->ignore_vcs($name);
# Ignore nothing (silent pass-through)
$find->ignore_vcs('');
The "ignore_vcs" method excludes the files for a named Version Control System from your File::Find::Rule search.
If passed, the name of the version control system is case in-sensitive. Names currently supported are 'cvs', 'svn', 'subversion', 'bzr',
and 'bazaar'.
As a convenience for high-level APIs, if the VCS name is the defined null string '' then the call will be treated as a nullop.
If no params at all are passed, this method will ignore all supported version control systems. If ignoring every version control system,
please note that any legitimate directories called "CVS" or files starting with .# will be ignored, which is not always desirable.
In widely-distributed code, you instead should try to detect the specific version control system used and call ignore_vcs with the specific
name.
Passing "undef", or an unsupported name, will throw an exception.
ignore_cvs
The "ignore_cvs" method excluding all CVS directories from your File::Find::Rule search.
It will also exclude all the files left around by CVS after an automated merge that start with '.#' (dot-hash).
ignore_rcs
The "ignore_rcs" method excluding all RCS directories from your File::Find::Rule search.
It will also exclude all the files used by RCS to store the revisions (end with ',v').
ignore_svn
The "ignore_svn" method excluding all Subversion (".svn") directories from your File::Find::Rule search.
ignore_bzr
The "ignore_bzr" method excluding all Bazaar (".bzr") directories from your File::Find::Rule search.
ignore_git
The "ignore_git" method excluding all Git (".git") directories from your File::Find::Rule search.
ignore_hg
The "ignore_hg" method excluding all Mercurial/Hg (".hg") directories from your File::Find::Rule search.
TO DO
- Add support for other version control systems.
- Add other useful VCS-related methods
