Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users Find wild card directory and its files of some extensions Post 303002187 by Don Cragun on Saturday 19th of August 2017 12:25:20 AM

Note that if you would tell us what operating system and shell you're using when you start your threads, we could all save time by not posting suggestions that cannot work in your environment...

Assuming that you are only looking for .txt and .prg files in directories with names that match the pattern file* (not all files with those extensions is the file hierarchies rooted in those directories) and that at least one directory in the file hierarchy rooted in your current working directory matches that pattern, you could try:
Code:
for dir in $(find . -type d -name 'file*')
do	ls -l "$dir"/*.txt "$dir"/*.prg "$dir"/.*.txt "$dir"/.*.prg 2>/dev/null
done
