finding files and omitting certain ones 1

[ksbrace]

hello,
I'm trying to find some files based on the date, but I also would like to omit some of them. I have the find command part correct, but I would like to be able to omit certain files. Thanks in advance,
Kelly

find ./ -type f –mtime 14 > new_files

let's say omit .log, .pid files or maybe files in a directory called scratch. Sorry for the lack of info in the previous post.

Two starting points:
find ./ -type f –mtime 14 ! -name '*.log' ! -name '*.pid' > new_files

find ./ -type f –mtime 14 | egrep -v '\.pid$|\.log$|/scratch/' > new_files

Hope This Helps, PH.
