arg list too long on ls *.cpp

[CA972872]

I have more than 250 files with the extension cpp, and when I do a "ls -l *.cpp" I have the error "arg list too long".
How can I list all my files, Here is a limit for the list commands?

Hi,

Basically this will work and is very fast.

find /var/opt -name '*.cpp' -print | xargs ls

It finds in /var/opt all file with extension .cpp and passes them on to ls.
