Basic Q: getting list of all files of type within folder & subfolders

#1 (**permalink**) 07-28-2007

A painfully rudimentary UNIX question for somebody. I've been puzzling over this for the last hour but can't find the right command.

I'm simply trying to get a list of all files - and their full paths - within a folder & subfolders which have extension .php and .js. That's it! No amount of fumbling around with "ls" has had any success.

Any advice?

I can do it in Linux, using slocate - Security Enhanced version of GNU Locate

#updatedb
#locate .js
#locate .php
