the find command

[goude]

Hi everyone,

Can somebody please tell me how can I make use of the following command:
find . -type f -name ".number" -exec rm -f {} \;, in order to delete files with a numeric extension?

For example, I have a folder that includes files ending to .shk and other files ending to .shk.123456, which basically are a back up copy of a software program I am using.
I only need the .shk files not the .shk.1233445 files.

Does anyone know how to define the numeric extension of a file in the bash command above?

Thanks a lot guys.

cd to the folder that contains the .shk and .shk.###### files, then
find . -type f ! -name '*shk' -exec rm -f {} \;

This will delete any files NOT ending in .shk under the current directory.
