How to exclude a directory in find . command

Question

I\'m trying to run a find command for all JavaScript files, but how do I exclude a specific directory?

Here is the find code we\'re using.<

Answer 1

Use the -prune option. So, something like:

find . -type d -name proc -prune -o -name '*.js'

The '-type d -name proc -prune' only look for directories named proc to exclude.
The '-o' is an 'OR' operator.
