A: It cannot be done directly. You can do this:

% find /path -exec test {} = /foo/bar -o {} = /foo/baz \; -prune -o pred

This will not perform pred on /foo/bar and /foo/baz; if you want them done, but not any files within them, try:

% find /path \( -exec test test-exprs \; ! -prune \) -o pred

The second version is worth close study, keeping the manual for find at hand for reference. It shows a great deal about how find works.

The -prune operator simply says "do not search the current path any deeper" and then succeeds a la -print.

Q: I only want a list of pathnames; the pred I use in your earlier answer will be just -print. I think I could solve my particular problem by piping the find output through a sed or egrep -v filter that deletes the pathnames I don't want to see.
