Using "bash" version 4 or later, you can use "globstar" or "dotglob", depending on whether you want hidden directories to be searched: |
|||
<lang bash>#! /bin/bash |
|||
# Warning: globstar excludes hidden directories. |
|||
# Turn on recursive globbing (in this script) or exit if the option is not supported: |
|||
shopt -s globstar || exit |
|||
for f in ** |
|||
do |
|||
if [[ "$f" =~ \.txt$ ]] ; then |
|||
echo "$f" |
|||
fi |
|||
done |

</lang> |
