Re: [tlug] using find

[Brett Robson <b-robson@example.com>]

Thanks guys, I discovered prune last night and got it working. Two
things I didn't mention was the english directory is in fact just ./e/
making life difficult and there is a bogus ./j/ dir as well.

First cut (csh):
find . \! \( -name e -type d -prune \) \! \( -name j -type d 
-prune \) \( -name '*html' -print \)


Second thing I didn't mention was this is for a makefile. Those parens,
either escaped or not were unacceptable. Why is that? I had to
rediscover boolean alegbra to come up with (I have to avoid a bogus ./j/
dir as well):

find . -name e -type d -prune -o -name j -type d -prune -o -name 
'*html' -print
