[bug #26883] "or" condition and -exec directive

[Eric Blake]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #26883 (project findutils):

Using tr and xargs -0 is not secure; in other words, it is the same as if you
had done:


find -iname '*.scala' -o -iname '*.java' | xargs echo


The whole point of 'xargs -0' is that it is only useful if you already had
secure file names passed to xargs in the first place.

You probably want:


find ( -iname '*.scala' -o -iname '*.java' ) -print0 | xargs -0 echo
