Using prune with find

Shell Programming and Scripting
1

Hi,

I have two files under two separate directories as in:

find . -name test.sh

./test.sh
./abc/test.sh

I want my find to only look for the file test.sh that is under the current directory and not one under /abc

How do I use prune to achieve this? I am on AIX

What have you tried so far with the prune flag?

I think you want to check out -level 0 option

Try:

find . \( ! -name . -prune \) -name test.sh

but:

ls test.sh 2>/dev/null
        or
[ -e test.sh ] && echo test.sh

would be easier and the last one would be a LOT faster.
