'find' command regex to exclude hidden files?
 

I have the following command which finds all files that have changed in the last day and lists them. How can I exclude hidden files like .bash_history?

Some sort of regex?

Thanks.

Hi,

If you are only interested in removing the dot-files and not the dot-directories:

find /home/jon -not -name "\.*" -type f -mtime -1 -print

If all dot-directories need to be excluded as well:

find /home/jon -type f -mtime -1 -print | grep -v "/\."

Hope this helps.

Thanks very much! I didn't know you could use something like -not...good to know :)

You're welcome :)
