Has anyone written a how-to on 'find'? I've been searching - the only
stuff is derived from the man and info and uses the same few examples.
I want to find the html pages I looked at yesterday, and either copy or
move them to a directory; or tar them.
find ./.netscape -name '*.htm*' -mtime -1 -print
gives me the list; according to David MacKenzie's GNU Finding files (1994)
one should be able to continue this line with
-exec mv {} somedirectory \;
or some such or with tar.
Is there a tutorial with lots of examples? I imagine some slugger has
written one given the local output I was directed to with a previous
question (procmail).

2. with the -prune options, i.e
find . -path './somedir' -prune -o
how does one prune more than one directory?
