Problem with find

Hello,

I've got a problem with find.

I want to find all files that end on .jpg or .bmp, but i don't know how to form the argument for -iregex. I was trying now for over 2 hours.

Please help me.

Thank you very much.
Jochen

ok, first you need to update the database for the file locations with the command
<code>updatedb</code>

and it should take a while for it to run, about 5-10 minutes

then, to find files, do locate jpg or .jpg or *.jpg

then it should give u a list

all this is done in terminal/konsole

I need a list of files which either end on .jpg or .bmp.

Something like this:
./picture.jpg
./pic/holiday1.bmp
./pic/holiday2.jpg
[...]

Any suggestions?
