Exclude list of files from find

Question

If I have a list of filenames in a text file that I want to exclude when I run find, how can I do that? For example, I want to do something like:

fi         


        

Answer 1

This is what i usually do to remove some files from the result (In this case i looked for all text files but wasn't interested in a bunch of valgrind memcheck reports we have here and there):

find . -type f -name '*.txt' ! -name '*mem*.txt'

It seems to be working.
