Excluding certain filetypes from FIND
As I type this I have a FIND running in another window. It's been going for quite some time because of the huge number of images stored on the server. I'm not very good at figuring things out from MAN pages (maybe if they were WOMAN pages...
 ) so I'm asking here if someone can show me ho I would modify my find to exclude jpg's and gif's.Here's what I currently use: find "some term" * -print Any help appreciated.

Pass your output through an inverted grep (e.g. - you supply a pattern, it tells you what DOESN'T match the pattern) using a pipe. The grep switch for inversion is '-v'.

find also supports the ! operator (meaning "not" ) like this
Code:
find /path ! -name \*.jpg ! -name \*.gif
