Find command

[minus0]

Hi all,

How do I make the Find command not traverse the sub directories? I tried using the "prune" option but no success there. Can some one suggest the actual command
I tried

find . -name "xfile*" -prune subdirectory -mtime -5

with the intention of preventing the find command from going to "subdirectory" but in the results I still see the files that are in the subdirectory

thanks for any help

Hi,

Can you try this instead:

find . -name "xfile*" -o -name subdirectory -prune -mtime -5
