Say the folder structure looks like this:

.
|--folder1
   |--subfolder1
      |--subfolder2
   |--subfolder2
|--folder2
   |--subfolder1
      |--subfolder2
   |--subfolder2
|--folder3
   |--subfolder1
   |--subfolder2

I would like to find all files in subfolder2 only. I know I can just do this:

$ find . -type f |grep subfolder2

But was wondering if find comes with a option to include/exclude given directories?
