Look for more then one extension.
I am currently scanning a directory with a shell script to look for all files with a .sh extension. I am wondering how to make it look for more then one extension. For example all .sh, .conf, and .sql files?

Currently this is what I am doing....
Code:
find /lcl/prd/apps/Tivoli/omnibus_procedure_scripts -type f -name '*.sh' | while IFS= read i

I am not sure how to add more then one extension in the code.

Thank you for help.

find lets you use grouping and boolean expressions, eg:
Code:
$ find / -type f -and '(' -name '*.sh' -or -name '*.sql' ... ')'

(Note that the '-and' is written here explicitly. find uses it implicitly by default)

Code:
find . \( -name '*.sh' -o -name '*.sql' -o -name '*.conf' \)

Your find man page is your friend on stuff like this.
