thanks man! :-)
It works great, and doesn't stop
on the first match.

Re: Using Find with Grep

Hello:

Try  "man grep" at any Unix command line.  You might find something
like...

   -L, --files-without-match
  Suppress normal output; instead print the  name  of
  each input file from which no output would normally
  have been printed.  The scanning will stop  on  the
  first match.

If you need to find all such files, you can easily write a loop in
a shell script.

   -L, --files-without-match
  Suppress normal output; instead print the  name  of
  each input file from which no output would normally
  have been printed.  The scanning will stop  on  the
  first match.

Using Find with Grep

[Rick Weinbender]

How can I make the following expression
display only occurrences that do NOT contain the
searchstring.  Is this possible?

find /home -name *.txt -exec grep searchstring {} \;

I want to search for the absense of a particular commandline
in a user config file.

TIA,

-Rick
