Regular Expressions for file name matching

Question

In Bash, how does one match a regular expression with multiple criteria against a file name? For example, I\'d like to match against all the files with .txt or .log endings.

Answer 1

You simply add the other conditions to the end:

for VARIABLE in 1 2 3 4 5 .. N
do
    command1
    command2
    commandN
done

So in your case:

for file in *.log *.txt
do
        echo "${file}"
done
