How to find files excluding symbolic links?

Question

I want to find files in Linux that follow a certain pattern but I am not interested in symbolic links.

There doesn\'t seem to be an option to the find comm

Answer 1

Like @AquariusPower say, the use of find -type f -xtype f solved my problem, and now I get only real files and not symbolic links anymore.

From: https://linux.die.net/man/1/find

I got:

-xtype c The same as -type unless the file is a symbolic link. For symbolic links: if the -H or -P option was specified, true if the file is a link to a file of type c; if the -L option has been given, true if c is 'l'. In other words, for symbolic links, -xtype checks the type of the file that -type does not check.

Thanks.
