I'm trying to find out all of the different types of files in my unorganized music folder. I've been trying this command (to list files of types besides the ones I know are in there):find zUnorganized/ -not -iname *.mp3 -and -not -iname *.flac -and -not -iname *.MP3 -and -not -iname *.wav -or -not -iname *.m4a -and -not -iname *.jpgBut it's not working. How would I get that command work? Is there a way to do it using -regex? Thanks!
How to find files not of a certain type?
command line;find
You wrote (redundant parentheses added for clarity):find zUnorganized/ \( -not -iname *.mp3 -and -not -iname *.flac -and -not -iname *.MP3 -and -not -iname *.wav \) \               -or \( -not -iname *.m4a -and -not -iname *.jpg \)Either use -and -not throughout, or use or throughout and finish with -print (meaning: do nothing for this, otherwise do nothing for that, etc, otherwise print). You'll also want to limit the search to regular files, otherwise directories will be listed.find zUnorganized/ -type f -not -iname *.mp3 -and -not -iname *.flac -and -not -iname *.MP3 -and -not -iname *.wav -and -not -iname *.m4a -and -not -iname *.jpgfind zUnorganized/ \! -type f -o \                   -iname *.mp3 -o -iname *.flac -o -iname *.MP3 -o -iname *.wav -o -iname *.m4a -o -iname *.jpg -o \                   -print
