MySQL How do I ignore certain dir while using find? solved.
Hello everyone, I'm a newbie.
I've got a problem while using find.
I know there is a way to do it in man find which is something like

find . -wholename './src/emacs' -prune -o -print

it works but i also want to use -daystart, -mtime, -type on it and i dont know whats the sequence of these should be.

i've tried like

find . -wholename './src/emacs' -prune -mtime 10 -type f -o -print

but it doesnt work, -mtime and -type doesnt perform anything here.
and im not quite understand whats that -o and -print for in here.

many thanks.

=========================

solved. find . -path './src/emacs' -prune -o -mtime 10 -type f -print
-o is quite important >_<

pod::abstract::filter::find

Pod::Abstract::Filter::find(3pm)			User Contributed Perl Documentation			  Pod::Abstract::Filter::find(3pm)

NAME

       Pod::Abstract::Filter::find - paf command to find specific nodes that contain a string.

DESCRIPTION

       The intention of this filter is to allow a reduction of large Pod documents to find a specific function or method. You call "paf find
       -f=function YourModule", and you get a small subset of nodes matching "function".

       For this to work, there has to be some assumptions about Pod structure. I am presuming that find is not useful if it returns anything
       higher than a head2, so as long as your module wraps function doco in a head2, head3, head4 or list item, we're fine. If you use head1 then
       it won't be useful.

       In order to be useful as an end user tool, head1 nodes (...) are added between the found nodes. This stops perldoc from dying with no
       documentation. These can be easily stripped using: "$pa->select('/head1')", then hoist and detach, or reparent to other Node types.

       A good example of this working as intended is:

	paf find select Pod::Abstract::Node
