Re: [CentOS] find with exclude directory

2014-05-12 Thread Cliff Pratt 
Why not copy the directory elsewhere, then delete the rest and move it
back? You'd take a copy of it anyway, if it is important, right?

Cheers,

Cliff

 I'm thinking the grep -v would be a visual thing, but the above statement
 would delete everything including the varnish files in the digitalplatform
 directory.

Thanks. But what if I want to turn that statement into one that will delete

As in : find / -path '/usr/local/digitalplatform/*' -prune -o -name

Without the explicit -print, find will implicitly add one

it might work reasonably for this particular case, but you should note
the limitations of such an approach.   specifically this would exclude both
/path/you/want/to/ignore/digitalplatform/varnish and
/path/you/want/to/find/digitalplatform/varnish

I'd also suggest using find / -name varnish,  dropping the second grep
and possibly using anchors with egrep to be very specific (e.g. | egrep
