How do I find files having either of several extensions?

Eg this finds all .c and .h files

$find . -name '*.[ch]'

but what if I want to find all .cpp and .h files?

I guess I need a grouping operator in the pattern but I can't figure out what it is.

Use "-o" for "or": find . -name \*.cpp -o -name \*.h :) John
