lots of replies to pipe to an egrep '/[0-9]+\.out$' expression to isolate
the numeric file names. this works well. thanks too all

er, no... you can do it using egrep as well, ie:
% mkdir /tmp/test
% touch /tmp/test/1.out /tmp/test/2322.out /tmp/test/499442.out \
> /tmp/test/7critical.out /tmp/test/123DeleteThisAndYourFired.out
% ls /tmp/test
1.out 499442.out
123DeleteThisAndYourFired.out 7critical.out
2322.out
% find /tmp/test -type f -print | egrep '/[0-9]+\.out$'
/tmp/test/1.out
/tmp/test/2322.out
/tmp/test/499442.out
% find /tmp/test -type f -print | egrep '/[0-9]+\.out$' | xargs rm
% ls /tmp/test
123DeleteThisAndYourFired.out 7critical.out
%
