[SOLVED] using find command

Hi,
I wanted to queue up all audio files in particular folder which also has .txt files.
I tried
$find /data/songs -iname '[^txt]' -exec totem --enqueue '{}' ';'
Thinking that this will exclude txt like expression in 'grep'.
It did not work
What do you suggest ?

I read the man page of find and got solution

$find /data/songs ! -iname '*.txt' -exec totem --enqueue '{}' ';'

Here ! means that will match which does not agree to specified pattern.
i am using ubuntu 8.04.
Remember your totem should be running before running the above command.

Was there a simpler way ?

Nope - that's it.
