Maybe I am tired. I have been reading man page, and these messages, and the website, I just dont understand how include/exclude works.

Is there a decent tutorial on the subject, I missed, for some reason?

all I want is to take /var/tmp/*.conf files. I dont want to recurse down thru directories (but, for reasons hard to explain, I must have the recursive option on)

Reminds me when I tried to understand the find -prune option. I never succeeded.

Or should I proceed empirically, preparing directories, and trying combination?

And please tell me, those who master the include/exclude technique: how long did it take to reach full understanding?
