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? --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
