Sorry for the 'less than critical' question, but here goes:

I need to find and eliminate all files that are named <string of
numbers>.out . For example:

/appls/dbs/jobserv/tolprod01/16287.out
/appls/dbs/jobserv/tolprod01/6576.out
/appls/dbs/jobserv/tolprod01/521.out

So find (with xargs) comes to mind, but how do I match a filename with a
varying length of numbers (and numbers only) as above?

-name '[0-9].out' <-matches only 1 number like 5.out

Thanks
Daryl
