Full Discussion: Simplified find command to find multiple file types

Simplified find command to find multiple file types
Hi,

I'm using the following command to find the multiple requierd file types and its working fine

Code:
 
find . -name "*.pl" -o -name "*.pm" -o -name "*.sql" -o -name "*.so" -o -name "*.sh" -o -name "*.java" -o -name "*.class" -o -name "*.jar" -o -name "*.gz" -o -name "*.Z" -type f

Though above command workswell and good, but the command is lengthier and difficult to edit or parameterize.
I'm looking to simplify it so that it can be easily editable in a script in future .
Please help me if anyone could simplify the problem.

Note : I cant use "*.*" as its gonna search all the files.

Thanks
Vikram shetty

AIRPORT2-PORTINSPECTOR(1)				      General Commands Manual					 AIRPORT2-PORTINSPECTOR(1)

NAME

       airport2-portinspector - Port maps inspector for the Apple AirPort Extreme Base Station ("Snow")

SYNOPSIS

       airport2-portinspector

DESCRIPTION

       airport2-portinspector allows you to inspect the port maps used by the hosts associated with your base station.

OPTIONS

       airport2-portinspector  accepts	no  command-line options. airport2-portinspector is a wrapper script around the PortInspector.jar jar file
       located in /usr/share/java/airport-utils.

       You can set the JAVACMD environment variable to use a specific JVM instead of the one chosen by the wrapper script. Set the DEBUG  environ-
       ment variable to 1 to get the debug output from the wrapper script.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       DEBUG  Set this variable to 1 to get the debug output from the wrapper script.

       JAVACMD
	      The  full  path  to  the	Java  Virtual  Machine	to  use.  By  default,	the  wrapper  uses JAVACMD; if it is not set, it looks for
	      JAVA_BINDIR/java, then for JAVA_HOME/bin/java before looking for a java executable in the PATH. In the latter case, the JVM used can
	      be configured using the Debian alternatives system (see update-alternatives(8)).

       JAVA_HOME
	      The full path where your JDK/JRE is installed.

       JAVA_BINDIR
	      The full path to the directory where the java executable is located.

       JAVA_ARGS
	      Extra command-line arguments to be passed to the Java Virtual Machine.
