Find a particular extension in a text file

Fail to find your document,first you have to search for library and documents if you have Windows 7 or Vista. For html you can use Adobe CS3 Dreamweaver apps. There you can easily find. And a text file you can go your office package if you use it, or go the recent documents if don't delete recent documents. In every folder you can use shortcut way to use F3 and write the file name to find. If windows 7 it also stays on your right bar on top of the monitor. Or go to 'C' drive user and search your documents. If you have Windows Xp then you can find pressing start menu and search option and paste the file name or doc.

Find a particular extension in a text file

• I am sorry for the inconvenience. I forgot to mention that i need to write a shell script which will scan one text file(question.txt) having entries like
• abc.html
• hdgsd.doc
• hsdksdf.mp
• and my script should find all the files having extension either .doc or .html and put it into another file (answer.txt)?
