Unix & Linux Asked by Dominique Crétel on January 2, 2022
I have a source folder where you can find files with extensions .c
, .pc
, .pro.c
.
I want to find all files with .c
and .pc
only, since .pro.c
is a generated file from .pc
after preprocessing.
Here is my find expression which is not yet correct:
find source ( ( -name '*.pro.c' ) -a -prune ) -o ( -name '*.c' -a -print )
What is my mistake ?
Can someone help me and explain why I do not get the correct result ?
Thank you.
-prune
applies to directories, not files, and instructs find
not to descend into the directory it’s looking at.
You only need to negate a name test:
find source -name '*.c' ! -name '*.pro.c' -o -name '*.pc'
