find command usage

["harish bashettihalli" <harish.bash@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi.

Well , AJay, i tried whatever you said. This is what I got:

find . -name "*.[ch]" -not -name "*[23]600*" >csope.file


find: bad option -not
find: path-list predicate-list


I went thro the man pages and the -not option exists. Still, this didnt
work.
I still havent been able to get a solution  to that problem.
I tried the  other options suggested on the list, however, they all give the
same end result.

How would I do it in more than one step, at least ? I am still waiting for a
working solution...
Harish

find . -name "*.[ch]" -not -name "*[23]600*" >csope.file

the double quotes being necessary to avoid expansions.
