Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers How to search in specific directory using find? Post 302927363 by MadeInGermany on Tuesday 2nd of December 2014 01:13:19 PM

The general way of excluding (all!) d3 directories is
Code:
find /home -type d -name d3 -prune -o -print

GNU find (Linux) can be told to only prune the search at /home/d3
Code:
find /home -type d -path /home/d3 -prune -o -print

You can replace -print by other actions.
