NO! You should not add the -exec ls -l \;. Add that that primary to the find command causes every old directory to be listed instead of just printing the directories you said you wanted to print. And you said you just wanted to print the names of those directories; not the contents of those directories.
Furthermore, you said you wanted to exclude a bunch of directories from the output. Adding the -exec ls -l \; where you added it guarantees that all of the work we went to to exclude directories is ignored.
i want to compile a list of files in all sub directories but exclude the current directory.
the closest i could get was to search 'only' the current directory, which is the opposite of what i wanted.

Hello,
I have a line in my script to find the files changed in the last 24 hours. It is as below:
find /home/hary -type f -mtime -1
I now want to exclude a directory named "/home/hary/temp/cache" from the above find command. How do I add it to my script?
Any help is appreciated.

Hi Forum.
I'm trying to write a script that finds and deletes files that are older than 300 days. The script will read a table that contains the following 3 columns:
1st col: “Y” means sub-directory scan; "N" means no subdirectory scan
2nd col: sub-directory location
3rd col: File prefix... (7 Replies)
Hi,
I'm in the process of writing a shell script which will be ran under cron hourly and will check for files of specific age in my ftp folder, then moves those over inside a folder called "old" (which is within the ftp dir). But, I'm unable to figure out how to exclude the "old" folder when... (1 Reply)
I had a Shell script that removes the files that are in a directory older than the specified days.
find /test/files -mtime +10
I would like to add another condition to the find command above that is to exclude any file starting with ‘CGU'
Thanks (1 Reply)
I am familiar with using tar and exclude/include files:
tar zcf backup.dirs.tgz --files-from=include.mydirs --exclude-from=exclude.mydirs --no-recursion
but was wondering if I could use find in the same way. I know that you can just specify the directories to exclude but my list is... (2 Replies)
:)Hi Unix Specialists,
I need your advice on how to find all the files from root ( / ) filesystem but exclude those from /export/home (different filesystem) folder. Below are some of the find statements that I have tried without success:

Tree::Simple::Visitor::LoadDirectoryTree(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Tree::Simple::Visitor::LoadDirectoryTree(3pm)NAME
Tree::Simple::Visitor::LoadDirectoryTree - A Visitor for loading the contents of a directory into a Tree::Simple object
SYNOPSIS
use Tree::Simple::Visitor::LoadDirectoryTree;
# create a Tree::Simple object whose
# node is path to a directory
my $tree = Tree::Simple->new("./");
# create an instance of our visitor
my $visitor = Tree::Simple::Visitor::LoadDirectoryTree->new();
# set the directory sorting style
$visitor->setSortStyle($visitor->SORT_FILES_FIRST);
# create node filter to filter
# out certain files and directories
$visitor->setNodeFilter(sub {
my ($item) = @_;
return 0 if $item =~ /CVS/;
return 1;
});
# pass the visitor to a Tree::Simple object
$tree->accept($visitor);
# the tree now mirrors the structure of the directory
DESCRIPTION
This visitor can be used to load a directory tree into a Tree::Simple hierarchy.
METHODS
new There are no arguments to the constructor the object will be in its default state. You can use the "setNodeFilter" and "setSortStyle"
methods to customize its behavior.
setNodeFilter ($filter_function)
This method accepts a CODE reference as its $filter_function argument and throws an exception if it is not a code reference. This code
reference is used to filter the tree nodes as they are created. The function is given the current directory or file being added to the
tree, and it is expected to return either true(1) of false(0) to determine if that directory should be traversed or file added to the
tree.
setSortStyle ($sort_function)
This method accepts a CODE reference as its $sort_function argument and throws an exception if it is not a code reference. This
function is used to sort the individual levels of the directory tree right before it is added to the tree being built. The function is
passed the the current path, followed by the two items being sorted. The reason for passing the path in is so that sorting operations
can be performed on the entire path if desired.
Two pre-built functions are supplied and described below.
SORT_FILES_FIRST
This sorting function will sort files before directories, so that files are sorted alphabetically first in the list followed by
directories sorted alphabetically. Here is example of how that would look:
Tree/
Simple.pm
Simple/
Visitor.pm
VisitorFactory.pm
Visitor/
PathToRoot.pm
SORT_DIRS_FIRST
This sorting function will sort directories before files, so that directories are sorted alphabetically first in the list followed
by files sorted alphabetically. Here is example of how that would look:
Tree/
Simple/
Visitor/
PathToRoot.pm
Visitor.pm
VisitorFactory.pm
Simple.pm
visit ($tree)
This is the method that is used by Tree::Simple's "accept" method. It can also be used on its own, it requires the $tree argument to be
a Tree::Simple object (or derived from a Tree::Simple object), and will throw and exception otherwise.
The node value of the $tree argument (gotten by calling "getNodeValue") is considered the root directory from which we begin our
traversal. We use File::Spec to keep our paths cross-platform, but it is expected that you will feed in a valid path for your OS. If
the path either does not exist, or is not a directory, then an exception is thrown.
The $tree argument which is passed to "visit" must be a leaf node. This is because this Visitor will create all the sub-nodes for this
tree. If the tree is not a leaf, an exception is thrown. We do not require the tree to be a root though, and this Visitor will not
affect any nodes above the $tree argument.
BUGS
None that I am aware of. Of course, if you find a bug, let me know, and I will be sure to fix it.
CODE COVERAGE
See the CODE COVERAGE section in Tree::Simple::VisitorFactory for more inforamtion.
SEE ALSO
These Visitor classes are all subclasses of Tree::Simple::Visitor, which can be found in the Tree::Simple module, you should refer to that
module for more information.
