How to match files *.R and *Rd with find utility?

Question

I would like to find all files that end with .c, .R, or .Rd. I tried

find . -iname \"*.[cR]\" -print

A suitable use of -regex would be:

find -regex '.*\.\(R\|Rd\|c\)'

If you want to use regular expressions you need to keep in mind that these apply to the whole path, not only to the filename:

   -regex pattern
          File  name  matches regular expression pattern.  This is a match
          on the whole path, not a search.  For example, to match  a  file
          named `./fubar3', you can use the regular expression `.*bar.' or
          `.*b.*3', but not `f.*r3'.  The regular  expressions  understood
          by  find  are by default Emacs Regular Expressions, but this can
          be changed with the -regextype option.

I agree with sampson-chen's answer, that regexes are probably not the best choice here.
