hi listers ...
maybe my brains are working slower than usual as i think the winter caught up on me and i'm feeling kinda... dead. anyway, here's my problem: i've read the man page for Grep and i really can't figure out wether what i want to do is possible or not. i have a lot of backup CD's and everytime i needed to restore something i had to look for it in avery single one of them, as maintaining a list of all of their contents would be a job demanding more time and patience than i have. so, basically i started inserting every backup CD i had and doing ls -R /mnt/cdrom >> /home/user/cds/cd**.txt where the ** is a number. this way i got a pretty "raw" list of the contents of each CD. now, i need grep to tell me inside of which file the search criteria is found. for example i run this: cat /home/user/cds/* | grep -10 gaim it shows me the Gaim rpm file, 10 lines above, and 10 lines below. that's fine but now i need to know inside of which file it found that! is that possible? thanks.
