Find command works on Linux but fails on Solaris.

Hi,

I am looking for a generic find command that works on both Linux and Solaris.

I have the below command that works fine on Linux but fails on solaris.
Code:
find /web/config -type f '(' -name '*.txt' -or -name '*.xml' -name '*.pro' ')'

Fails on SunOS mysolaris 5.10 Generic_150400-61 sun4v sparc sun4v

Error on Solaris:
Quote:
find: bad option -or
find: [-H | -L] path-list predicate-list
Can you please suggest either the correct absolute path to find which works on both Linux & Solaris else tweak my command to suit both Linux and Solaris.
