Unix find: multiple file types

Question

I want to run find -name with multiple file types. Eg.

 find -name *.h,*.cpp

Is this possible?

Answer 1

That's what I use.I strongly recommend the "-regextype posix-extended" argument.

find . -type f -iname "*.log" -o -iname "*.gz" 
find . -type f \( -name "*.gz" -o -name "*.log" \)
find . -type f -regex '.*\(\.gz\|\.log\)'
find . -type f -regextype posix-extended -regex '.*.(log|gz)'
