I'm using a regular expression to find all *.<digit> and *.gz files in a directory. Normally something like this works, but I'm missing something...
When I run this:
Code:
find /var/log/ -iregex ".*\.\(\d\|gz\)$"
I get in return:
Code:
/var/log/setuid.changes.1.gz
/var/log/syslog.1.gz
Here is /var/log:
Code:

Why wouldn't (for example) syslog.0 or user.log.0 be returned?
