shell find excluding invisible (dot) files?

Scripting Forums AppleScript Studio & Xcode
#1

I am using “find” within a shell operation and I don’t want the dot files to return.

for example…

this works corerctly for “.DS_Store” files only…

find /target/folder -type f -not -path ‘*DS_Store’

but how do I exclude all dot files?

#2

I think the option -not -name “.*” or ! -name “.*” should work

#3

Thank you. This is what I wound up using…

do shell script "find " & quoted form of theFolder & " -type f -not -name \".*\""
