    OK, I'm intrigued; I'm also working on something.

    I'm searching a 1-wire filesystem looking for devices that have
names like "[0-9A-F][0-9A-F]\.[0-9A-F]*".

    The problem is, I need to skip paths with "uncached" "alarm" and
"bus.0" in their names.  And the examples I'm seeing aren't getting me
there.  Either they leave behind the directory name (until -path) or
other things start showing up.

   Like this:
find /var/1wire -path './bus.0' -prune -o -name
"[0-9A-F][0-0A-F]\.[[0-9A-F]*" 2>/dev/null

    Returns:
/var/1wire/bus.0/1F.38C704000000
/var/1wire/bus.0/1F.B9C604000000
/var/1wire/bus.0/1F.1DBC04000000
/var/1wire/bus.0/1F.1DBC04000000/main/10.BB434D010800
/var/1wire/bus.0/1F.1DBC04000000/main/alarm/10.BB434D010800
/var/1wire/uncached/bus.0/1F.38C704000000
/var/1wire/uncached/bus.0/1F.B9C604000000
/var/1wire/uncached/bus.0/1F.1DBC04000000
/var/1wire/uncached/bus.0/1F.1DBC04000000/main/10.BB434D010800
/var/1wire/uncached/bus.0/1F.1DBC04000000/main/alarm/10.BB434D010800
/var/1wire/uncached/1F.38C704000000
/var/1wire/uncached/1F.B9C604000000
/var/1wire/uncached/1F.1DBC04000000
/var/1wire/uncached/1F.1DBC04000000/main/10.BB434D010800
/var/1wire/uncached/1F.1DBC04000000/main/alarm/10.BB434D010800
/var/1wire/1F.38C704000000
/var/1wire/1F.B9C604000000
/var/1wire/1F.1DBC04000000
/var/1wire/1F.1DBC04000000/main/10.BB434D010800
/var/1wire/1F.1DBC04000000/main/alarm/10.BB434D010800

   Notice the "bus.0" still shows up.  What am I doing wrong?
