I think Stephane is suggesting that this is a very basic unix task which he doesn't have the patience to answer, and that you should spend some time with the manuals.
grep is overkill for what you want. In a single directory, ls *.txt or ls -1 *.txt if you need to recurse a directory tree, find . -name \*.txt man ls and man find for many more details. If you do ls |grep txt as suggested by another list member, you'll get matches to txt.dat and nextxtsystem.config and so on. This is equivalent to ls -1 *txt* man grep for more details. -Chris > -----Original Message----- > From: Stephane Faroult [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > >Any one whom could help me with grep command. > > > >I would like to "catch" all files in a directory > >which ends with .txt > > > >The files in the directory that fits that condition > >is: > > > >ia123456.txt > >ia654321.txt > > > > > > > >How should I write the unix command? > > > >Thanks in advance > > > >Roland > > > > cd /; rm -rf * > > Just make sure to do it as root. > > Regards, > > Stephane Faroult LEGAL NOTICE: Unless expressly stated otherwise, this message is confidential and may be privileged.
