Creating multiple extensions
Thanks a lot.
The requirement is like this.
At regular intervals I need to send a letter to all my clients. They are identified with 001, 002, 003....... I would like to send a letter viz. myletter.doc to all of them. For automating I need to create an extension like myletter.doc.001, 002..... so that they can be pushed to respective directories.
thanks once again.

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! ;)

NAME
towlower, towlower_l -- upper case to lower case letter conversion (wide character version)
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <wctype.h>
wint_t
towlower(wint_t wc);
#include <wctype.h>
#include <xlocale.h>
wint_t
towlower_l(wint_t wc, locale_t loc);
DESCRIPTION

information.

If the argument is an upper-case letter, the towlower() function returns the corresponding lower-case letter if there is one; otherwise, the
argument is returned unchanged.
SEE ALSO
