searching fileextentions (suffix) with grep and/or test
Hello,

I have a problem. I will search files on fileextentions (suffix). It can with the command find, but I will do it with the commands grep and/or test. When i start the script I will see all files with that extention (suffix).

Can anyone help me, please?

Thanks!

Regards,
Arjan Engbers

My English is not so good, I hope you understand me.

Code:
ls *.suffix

why do you need grep?

Thanks for your reaction!

It is for school. I am a beginner, but my teacher said I must search solutions using grep or/and test (I know grep is for search in the file, but I thought there is a argument to search the suffix of a file)

Code:
find /path -name *.suffix
