If you can modify the find command itself, you could add a "-not -path" clause with a glob pattern. For example, find / -not -path '*e*' finds all paths on the system that don't contain the letter e. If there aren't too many such lines, you could make a "-not -path" clause for each of them. _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list busybox@busybox.net http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
