#Sample directories and file, the aim is to exclude directory /tmp/test/test1
$find /tmp/test
/tmp/test
/tmp/test/test1
/tmp/test/test1/test1.file
/tmp/test/test2
/tmp/test/test2/test2.file
/tmp/test/test3
(1) Simple most efficient way, but I can only get it working in ksh
$find /tmp/test/!(test1) -type f
/tmp/test/test2/test2.file
/tmp/test/test3
(2)With not expression “! “
$find /tmp/test ! -path "/tmp/test/test1*" -type f
/tmp/test/test2/test2.file
/tmp/test/test3
(3)With prune, which means exclude preceding path
$find /tmp/test -path /tmp/test/test1 -prune -o -type f -print
/tmp/test/test2/test2.file
/tmp/test/test3
