ls -R path_of_your_directory | grep "\.txt$"

Example:

ls -R /tmp | grep "\.txt$"

Try this :

find / -type f -name \*.txt

It will give you all .txt files in '/' directory.

Use find command

find /where/to/search -name "*.txt" -type f

That will list only files ending .txt. Using -type f it won't list directory even if it's name happens to end with .txt.

Several ways:

echo directory_name/*/*.txt

is probably the most efficient: echo is a shell built-in, and the * expansion is done by bash. If you need more power, use ls instead of echo
