RE: FIND and GREP

You should look at the -v option in grep to exclude. You can pipe your existing output through that.

Subject: FIND and GREP

I need to generate a list of IFS files that contain a given string
("iim"). I need to search directory /linoma/goanywhere/projects
recursively. I've been able to do this with a combination of the FIND
and GREP commands in QSHELL:



find /linoma/goanywhere/userdata/projects -type f -exec grep -lRF "iim"
'{}' ';'



Here's the rub: there is a subdirectory I want to ignore
(/linoma/goanywhere/userdata/projects/demo). How would I modify my
find/grep statement to exclude the demo folder?
