Hi!
I just wonder if anyone can help me. I'm trying to write a shell script, but don't know where to begin exactly.
I need to write a script that will go into each directory, even subdirectories and check for a file that ands with ".txt" and ".pdf" at the same time.
I know I can use

find . -name '*.txt' –print
find . -name '*.pdf' –print
but how can I write a script that will search for both at the same time.
Thanks in advance!
