[Ilugc] recursive search
Hi, How to find the text from a file(directory & subdirectory). (recursive search) Ex : Directories : /prog /prog/sub1/ /prog/sub1/dir1/ /prog/sub2/ Each folder contains some text files. I want to search a "text" from all the files in the directory /prog and subdirectories. I tried cat * | grep "text" But it searches only the current directory also it not lists the filename. How do I do this Thanks Suresh ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
