I am playing around with -exec
flag of find command. I am trying to use the flag to print the extension name of files, using a fairly new Linux distribution release.
Starting simple, this works:
find . -type f -exec echo {} \;
An attempt to use convenient Bash string feature fails:
find . -type f -exec echo "${{}##*.}" \; (bad substitution)
So what should be the correct way to do it?

If you want to use shell parameter expansion then run some shell with
exec
