find whitout going down the directory

[federico_3]

I should use the find command to find some files but I don't want the search to be recursive. I would like the search to stop in the directory I indicate.. whitout going down recursively. How can i perform the task??

Thanks
Federico

Hi Federico:

By example:

# cd /tmp; find . -path "./*" -prune -name "*.log" -type f

...will return all files ending with ".log" in the /tmp directory but not those in subdirectories.
