Find all files except *.xxxxxx

Post by *curls »

Is it possible to search and list all files except those with a certain extension?

Try to search for *.*|*.xxxxxx
It's impossible to lead us astray for we don't care even to choose the way.

Thanks, that does the job and allows me to exclude other extensions too. Is it possible to also exclude folder names from the output? I can manage as it is, but it would make it neater.

I got 'access denied' with this one.

Way, way too old! So old in fact, that I didn't even have it installed. Thanks for making me aware it exists.
