I am using find in the following manner: find /path/to/files/ -mtime -2 -ls |less to find files which have been recently modified. But I would like to extend the search to find specific expression within files. -name is used to specify file name. How can I search for strings within text?
no matter how you generate the list of files to search, use grep then on that list
