file type/category search?

[firenice03]

Code:

find . -type f \( -name "*.mp3" -o -name "*.png" \)

I found the command above ran without the \( .. \ )

Code:

find . -type f -name "*.mp3" -o -name "*.png"

FYI if you want to search root (/) use sudo..


You should be able to use locate as well..

Code:

locate *.mkv *.webm *.flv *.vob *.ogg *.ogv *.drc *gifv *.mng *.avi$ *.mov

Adding/changing the extensions as needed...
