find files or folders excluding certain directories

[BDNiner]

is is possible to search for directories or files but exclude certain directories? I am looking for rsync config files on my rsync server but i also have a lot of other directories that are named rsync that store the actual backups. This is using the find command.

append -prune to the command

and

man find

I suspect you are looking for the grep command. Look at this for help. http://www.scit.wlv.ac.uk/cgi-bin/mansec?1+grep
