shell - Exclude Library folder from being searched with find command in Terminal–OS X Mavericks -


i'm trying make applescript searches specific folder called keypro inside user's home folder. i'm using following code in applescript this:

do shell script "find ~/ -name 'keypro'" 

(the "~/" means search inside current user's home folder.)

what's annoying every time run it, terminal searches inside library folder causes "permission denied" error, other random stuff showing up.

is there way exclude user's library folder being searched?

originally tagging question or, more specficially, have gotten more attention ( doesn't come play here - applescript's do shell script doesn't open terminal window, merely creates shell child process.).

do shell script "find ~ -path ~/library -prune -o -name 'keypro' -print" 

will exclude ~/library find command.

from shell, run man find more information on find command.

however, note wouldn't ordinarily see warnings or error messages when use applescript's do shell script, unless shell command fails (reports nonzero exit code) whole (in case applescript throws error shell error message description).

warnings , error message sent stderr stream, whereas do shell script default captures stdout.
