I have a bunch of files in a folder:
foo_1
foo_2
foo_3
bar_1
bar_2
buzz_1
...
I want to find all the files that do not start with a given prefix and save the list to a text file. Here is an example for the files that do have a given prefix:
find bar_* > Positives.txt
If you're doing subdirectories as well:
find . ! -name "bar_*"
Or, equivalently,
find . -not -name "*bar_*"
