Editing Find (Unix) (section)

===Find any one of differently named files===
<syntaxhighlight lang="console">
$ find . \( -name '*jsp' -o -name '*java' \) -type f -ls
</syntaxhighlight>
The <code>-ls</code> operator prints extended information, and the example finds any regular file whose name ends with either 'jsp' or 'java'. Note that the parentheses are required. In many shells the parentheses must be escaped with a backslash (<code>\(</code> and <code>\)</code>) to prevent them from being interpreted as special shell characters. The <code>-ls</code> operator is not available on all versions of <code>find</code>.
