UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Trying to locate files less than xx days old, throughout all directories/subdirectories, but excluding certain types of directories and files.

The directories I want to search all contain the same characteristic (dbdef, pldef, ghdef, etc), and there are subdirectories within that I need to exclude
(all called 'sub'), so my command went something like this:

Code:

find ./*def/ -type d \( -name sub \) -prune -o -type f -mtime -365 | xargs -i ls -l {}

This works, however, I would also like to exclude certain types of files (*.xml and *.dmp), but I cannot work out how to exclude them. I have tried various
methods, but none have worked.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Adding '!' -name '*.xml' '!' -name '*.dmp' should do.

Thanks, that worked
