Subject: How to use locate and exclude certain strings?
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?
