find command

Hello everyone,

I want to find all files in current directory (including sub-directory) whose name is *.c or *.h or *.cpp. How to write the find command?

thanks in advance,
George

Hi,

This should work:

find . -name "*.c" -o -name "*.h" -o -name "*.cpp" -print

-o stands for OR.

Hope this helps.
