Hi,

There can be more than one way to test whether a directory contains
*.txt files (to be used with 'find -exec'). But I'm wondering what is
the best way (in terms of convenience to type) to do it. Does anybody
have any tricks on this?

I've ever seen this:

( shopt -s nullglob; set -- /the/dir/*.txt; (( $# )) )
