does find has feature to find several names

[Soren Orel]

so that I don't have to write this:

find . -type f -name "*.sh" -o -name "*.html"

is there a

find . -type f -name "*.sh|*.html"

method? :D:D

thank you

thank you, but i don't need regex, I'm just searching, that is there a
shorter way in the find command to search for e.g.: two filenames

find . -type f -name "*.sh" -o -name "*.html"

so that I don't have to write "-o -name" at every time :D:P

That's why I pointed you to find's -regex predicate, I'm using
it regularly but I wont't figure it out for you.

Thanks

Yes you do, regex is short for regular expression. It is used for
pattern matching, which is exactly what you are trying to do.

Cheers,

Using regex:

find . -type f -regex '.*\.(sh|html)'
