Negative matching using grep (match lines that do not contain foo)

I have been trying to work out the syntax for this command:

grep ! error_log | find /home/foo/public_html/ -mmin -60

grep '[^error_log]' | find /home/baumerf/public_html/ -mmin -60

I need to see all files that have been modified except for those named error_log .

I've read about it here, but only found one not -regex pattern.

grep -v is your friend:

grep --help | grep invert

-v, --invert-match select non-matching lines

Also check out the related -L (the complement of -l ).

-L, --files-without-match only print FILE names containing no match

You can also use awk for these purposes, since it allows you to perform more complex checks in a clearer way:

Lines not containing foo :

awk '!/foo/'

Lines not containing neither foo nor bar :

awk '!/foo/ && !/bar/'

Lines not containing neither foo nor bar but containing either foo2 or bar2 :

awk '!/foo/ && !/bar/ && (/foo2/ || /bar2/)'

And so on.

In your case, you presumably don't want to use grep, but add instead a negative clause to the find command, eg

find /home/baumerf/public_html/ -mmin -60 -not -name error_log

If you want to include wildcards in the name, you'll have to escape them, eg to exclude files with suffix .log:

find /home/baumerf/public_html/ -mmin -60 -not -name *.log
