You should find files with at least one more char after the extension, then:


Code:
find /tmp/custom -type f \( -name '*.xml?*' -o -name '*.js?*' -o -name '*.jsp?*' \) | grep -v '/BACKUP/'
/tmp/custom/moht.xml_tmp
 /tmp/custom/log/test.xml.bkp

man bash:


Quote:
* Matches any string, including the null string. ...
? Matches any single character.

find uses shell metacharacters (`*', `?' or `[]' for example) (man find)

miwm

MIWM(1) 						      General Commands Manual							   MIWM(1)

NAME

       miwm - a minimal appearance, full-function window manager

SYNOPSIS

       miwm

DESCRIPTION

       MIWM is Ben Wise's MInimal Window Manager. It is pronounced 'my whim'.

       The  goal  of  miwm is to be a fully functional window manager, while retaining a very spare (Zen or Spartan, as you please) appearance and
       command-set.

WARNING

       This man page is VERY MUCH under construction. It is not complete, and blatantly contains leftover pieces of the man page I used as a  tem-
       plate. Do not rely on anything you find here.

COMMANDS

       The notation for describing commands is that Mouse-1-frame means 'button 1 click on frame', C-Mouse-3-root means 'control button 3 click on
       root',

       Mouse-1-frame
	      Raise.

       Mouse-2-frame
	      Move.  Mouse-2-root Select virtual workspace.

       Mouse-3-frame
	      Hide.

	      Filenames passed to
	      miwm can be directories or deleted files.  If a directory that is not deleted is passed to miwm, then the deleted files or  directo-
	      ries in it will be restored; if the recursive option is specified, then all deleted files or directories in any of its children will
	      be restored as well.

       The shell wildcards * and ?, as well as shell brace notation using [ and ], are interpreted correctly by miwm.	It  is	possible  to  pass
       wildcards  to  the program without the wildcards being intercepted by the shell by setting noglob (in csh) or by quoting the wildcards.	To
       delete a file that actually has a wildcard in its name, you must precede the quoted wildcard with a quoted backslash.

       If no files are specified on the command line, miwm goes into interactive mode.	In interactive mode, the user is prompted to  enter  files
       to be restored, one file per line.  Typing a carriage return on an empty prompt line exits the program.

       Wildcards  and  quoting backslashes can be entered directly at the prompt without any shell interference (which is the main reason there is
       an interactive mode).

OPTIONS

       Miwm No command-line options.

KNOWN BUGS

       The code is too complicated.  No icon support.
