Probably you want to prevent it from recursion?
Then there is the following work-around for a Unix find
A GNU find takes
The *.ini is to be evaluated by the find not the shell, therefore must be quoted. The -ls should follow it, so depends on the previous condition.

Now they have added on a new requirement, they only want to go to a certain depth in the directories returned. How do I code it to only go say 3 directories deeper than $DIRECTORY? (12 Replies)

hello,
i want to use "-depth" in command "find" and want to exclude a directory.

A few of our users are adept at creating folders like 2015\2015 something\event\2015 event\document\2015 which makes their documents close to impossible to find. Is there any way I can restrict the depth of the folders they are allowed to create? (1 Reply)

file::find::rule::procedural
File::Find::Rule::Procedural(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation File::Find::Rule::Procedural(3pm)NAME
File::Find::Rule::Procedural - File::Find::Rule's procedural interface
SYNOPSIS
use File::Find::Rule;
# find all .pm files, procedurally
my @files = find(file => name => '*.pm', in => @INC);
DESCRIPTION
In addition to the regular object-oriented interface, File::Find::Rule provides two subroutines for you to use.
"find( @clauses )"
"rule( @clauses )"
"find" and "rule" can be used to invoke any methods available to the OO version. "rule" is a synonym for "find"
Passing more than one value to a clause is done with an anonymous array:
my $finder = find( name => [ '*.mp3', '*.ogg' ] );
"find" and "rule" both return a File::Find::Rule instance, unless one of the arguments is "in", in which case it returns a list of things
that match the rule.
my @files = find( name => [ '*.mp3', '*.ogg' ], in => $ENV{HOME} );
Please note that "in" will be the last clause evaluated, and so this code will search for mp3s regardless of size.
my @files = find( name => '*.mp3', in => $ENV{HOME}, size => '<2k' );
^
|
Clause processing stopped here ------/
It is also possible to invert a single rule by prefixing it with "!" like so:
# large files that aren't videos
my @files = find( file =>
'!name' => [ '*.avi', '*.mov' ],
size => '>20M',
in => $ENV{HOME} );
