exclude directories from find command

2012-12-22 Thread Jack Mc Lauren 
Hi fellas
How can I exclude specific directories from my find command ? I want to look 
for all files in the whole system except for those in e.g /extra directory. 
I use this command to find all files, but how can I exclude /extra directory ?

find / -type f

Thanks in advance ...

 find / -type f

Try this:

  find / -type f -not -path '/extra/*'
