We are running SCO Xenix 2.2.3 on the 286. I am trying to generate a find command that will print everything in several directories and will not descend into a directory called test. I have had no luck in doing it in the find itself and have had to process the output. What I attempted follows: * find . ! -name test -print * find . ! \( -type d -name test \) -print The first tried to exclude the directory test by name, the second tried to exclude assuming that it needed type and name. Anything I attempted still went in the test directory. If anyone knows how to do this please let me know. thanks Doug Toppin uunet!melpar!toppin
