Excluding a directory

Shell Programming and Scripting
1

i want to search files in public_html of all users and exclude any directories named "uploads" or "albums" (because there are many files in these), just skip them completely

now im doing something like

find /home/*/public_html -regex ".*\(php\|html\|htm\)$" -path albums -prune -o -type f -print0 | xargs -0 grep -iE 'keyword"

but it's not working to skip over albums directories

the path of albums can be in any level
like

/home/user/public_html/something/albums

or

/home/user/public_html/albums

or

/home/user/public_html/something/somethingelse/albums

thanks in advance for any answers

This is really easy, use:

find /home/*/public_html -name uploads -prune -o -name albums -prune -o -name "*.php" -print
