                How to fetch logs recursively, when the files may have a number of different file extensions?

					I traverse `/var/log/myAPPLICATION*` like shown below to harvest everything below in the folder structure, which has .log as extension. 
The challenge is now: What if there are occurences of logfiles that have e.g. .txt extension? Is it possible to use some conditional to that File line in the Input directive? 
Something like 
` File                        "/var/log/myAPPLICATION/*.[log|txt]"`
```
        Module                im_file
        File                        "/var/log/myAPPLICATION/*.log"
        Recursive            True
        SavePos               True
        ReadFromLast    True
        Exec                  to_syslog_ietf();
```
