How to use locate and exclude certain strings?

Tue, 23 Dec 2014 13:21:22 -0800

I use the following command to locate all files that contain a specified string (i.e. $FILE) within a specified directory: 

locate $FILE | fgrep -ya "/home/joe/mydata"
How can I modify that command to do the same thing, except exclude all paths that contain another specified string?
