Hey all,
I'm trying to do a find of all files with the phrase 'varnish' in the name, but want to exclude a user home directory called /usr/local/digitalplatform.
Here's what I was able to come up with:
find / -path '/usr/local/digitalplatform/*' -prune -o -name "*varnish*"
Which results in this:
[root@uszmpwsls014lb ~]# find / -path '/usr/local/digitalplatform/*' -prune -o -name "*varnish*" | grep digitalplatform /usr/local/digitalplatform/.bash_logout /usr/local/digitalplatform/varnish-2.1.5.tar.gz /usr/local/digitalplatform/.viminfo /usr/local/digitalplatform/.ssh /usr/local/digitalplatform/varnish-1360.tar.gz /usr/local/digitalplatform/.emacs /usr/local/digitalplatform/varnishncsa-init /usr/local/digitalplatform/varnish-sysconfig-stg /usr/local/digitalplatform/memcached-1.4.7.tar.gz /usr/local/digitalplatform/.bash_profile /usr/local/digitalplatform/.mozilla /usr/local/digitalplatform/.subversion /usr/local/digitalplatform/.bashrc /usr/local/digitalplatform/.zshrc /usr/local/digitalplatform/varnish-sysconfig /usr/local/digitalplatform/default.vcl /usr/local/digitalplatform/1360-apache-stage.tar.gz /usr/local/digitalplatform/.bash_history /usr/local/digitalplatform/memcached-1.4.7 /usr/local/digitalplatform/httpd.conf /usr/local/digitalplatform/varnish-2.1.5 /usr/local/digitalplatform/varnish_reload_vcl /usr/local/digitalplatform/varnish-prod.tar.gz /usr/local/digitalplatform/varnish-init /usr/local/digitalplatform/1360-stage-apache.tar.gz
I'd like to know what I'm doing wrong, and how I can best achieve the desired results?
Thanks Tim
Just grep it out.
find . -print | grep -v digitalplatform

Thanks. But what if I want to turn that statement into one that will delete everything it finds? I need to preserve the contents of that directory.
As in : find / -path '/usr/local/digitalplatform/*' -prune -o -name "*varnish*" -exec rm -rfv {} ;
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.

But test this first - you don't want to remove anything by accident.

Brian, no that doesn't work. It returns nothing.

But that's ok I think I'm all set with the above options.

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 -v "^/ignore/this/path|^/ignore/another/path"
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

don't forget to escape that exclamation point if typing on bash.

Without the explicit -print, find will implicitly add one e.g find / ( -path .... -o -name ... ) -print
