Find will search recursively down from the path that you specify, but you may want to change the syntax of your find command in your for loop to:
`find /path/to/search -name "*".txt`
This will search recursively down that path to find all *.txt files, and find should not complain of a missing conjunction
Hope this helps.
Regards.
