Creating multiple extensions
Friends
I want to automat sending a letter to different persons whose directories are named as 001, 002, 003, 004.
To push the same letter to all these directories, I need to name the letter as letter.001, letter.002 like that.
Is there any method whereby I get the extension of this letter as myletter.001, myletter.002 etc.
Please help and thanks in advance

I want to use find to locate files with two different extensions, and run a grep on the results. The closest I have gotten is incredibly slow and ugly:
for i in `ls -laR|egrep -e '(.js|.css)'`; do find . -name $i -print|xargs grep -H searchBg; done;
This method makes my eyes bleed. Help! ;)
