For the find command to exclude filenames in Linux use "-not" option or "!" option
For example:
find . -name "*".pl -not -name "*".sh -type f
will list all the files ending with ".pl" and exlude all the files ending with ".sh"
In Linux we can also use -iname option if we want to exclude the case sensitivity for the searches.In that
case if we use
find . -iname "*".pl -not -iname "*".sh -type f
will list all the files ending with ".pl" ,".PL"... and exlude all the files ending with ".sh",".SH" ....
In solaris "-not option will not work and so we should use only "!" option.
For example:
find . -name "*".pl ! -name "*".sh -type f
will list all the files ending with ".pl" and exlude all the files ending with ".sh"In solaris -iname option also cannot be used.
