Here is how to do it:
Create script called /tmp/tmp1.pl containing the following:
#!/usr/bin/perl
open FL,"find /home -print|"||die "Cannot open file:$!\n";
$pattern="\/mark03\/";
while (<FL>) {
chomp;
if (/$pattern/) { next; }
print "$_\n";
}
Purists will cringe when seeing a script without "use strict" and executing "find"
but it's short and it works.
Next, you chmod /tmp/tmp1.pl to 700 and do tar cvf /mydir/myfile.tar `/tmp/tmp1.pl`
It works each and every time.
