windows howto find
Hi all!

How would you do the equivalent of find ! -type f..... under windows?
Meaning, how under a directory could you find all files except those named *.mp3 for example?

the command under linux would be:
find $DIR ! -name "*.mp3" what would be that under windows?

Thanx for any ideas...

set DIR=c:\what\ever
dir %DIR% /s /b | find "*.mp3" /v

should work like your find

i've got it:
dir %DIR% /s /b | find ".mp3" /V without the * and a V instead of a v.

thanx!!!
