Find command with exclude

Shell Programming and Scripting
1

I had a Shell script that removes the files that are in a directory older than the specified days.

find /test/files -mtime +10

I would like to add another condition to the find command above that is to exclude any file starting with �CGU'

Thanks

Untested and without knowing what Operating System (and therefore what version of "find") you have:

find /test/files \( -mtime +10 -a ! -name CGU\* \) -print

The escaped brackets \( and \) protect them from Shell and pass them to "find" for evaluation. The "-a" means "and" to "find". The "!" means "not" to "find". Thus we have built a boolean condition to match the requirement.
