how to use find to build a list of files with *.cpp *.h *.cc *.mm *.java extensions
 

Hi,

How can I use find to build a list of files with *.cpp *.h *.cc *.mm *.java extensions?

I tried
find . -name "*.cpp|*.h|*.java|*.cc|*.mm" -print

That prints out nothing.

Thank you.

That won't work because shell globbing isn't regex pattern matching.

You get the idea.

Take a look at "man find"---especially the -regex option

there are other tools too....
´locate´ and ´grep´ are such tools(very powerful)
you can use them along with ´find´
