I want to recursively search a directory and return files that end in
".jpg" or ".gif" but I can't seem to get the find syntax right. My
basic command lines are:
find /multimedia/Pictures -iname "*.gif" -print
OR
find /multimedia/Pictures -iname "*.jpg" -print
Both of these work perfectly. But I can't figure out how to combine the
two. 'man find' tells me the the OR operator is '-or'. Thus it seems
that some incantation along this line would work:
$ find /multimedia/Pictures -iname "*.gif" -or "*.jpg" -print
find: paths must precede expression
Usage: find [path...] [expression]
I've tried various placement of quotes, parenthesis, etc. but can't seem
to find the right way to do this. Can someone show me my error?
Thanks,
Drew
