Operating Systems Solaris How to find (specific) directories in SunOS 5.9?

Thank you very much for your help. However, I still have a few more questions ...
What you are trying to do seems rather straight forward. It can be done using basic scripting.
What do you mean with "basic scripting"? May you provide me a link to further information?
If you are needing to exclude directories using the find command, look at using the -prune argument i.e #find / -name foo -prune -o -print This will find all files but exclude everything with "foo".
As far as I know this works for "one" directory only, i.e., it does not work for a path like "data/test".

pathfind() - search for named file in named directories SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
searches the directories named in path for the file name. The directories named in path are separated by colons. mode is a string of option letters chosen from the set Letter Meaning --------------------------- r readable w writable x executable f normal file b block special c character special d directory p FIFO (pipe) u set user ID bit g set group ID bit k sticky bit s size nonzero Options read, write, and execute are checked relative to the real (not the effective) user ID and group ID of the current process. If the file name, with all the characteristics specified by mode, is found in any of the directories specified by path, then returns a pointer to a string containing the member of path, followed by a slash character followed by name. If name begins with a slash, it is treated as an absolute path name, and path is ignored. An empty path member is treated as the current directory. is not prepended at the occurrence of the first match; rather, the unadorned name is returned. To use this interface, link in the libgen library by specifying For example: RETURN VALUE
If no match is found, returns a null pointer, EXAMPLES
