Command to select files with different extensions - UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

MobileUser · #1 05-01-2006

I want to select files which have different extensions such as .cpp, .cs, .h

I can select one of them as

Code:

find . -name "*.cpp"

but I want to select all of them in one command only. It should be pretty simple but I'm not able to get it. Any help with the command will be greatly appreciated.

use ls
ls *.cpp *.cs *.h
Btw for find - find . \( -name "*.cpp" -o -name "*.cs" -o -name "*.h" \) should work
