As another poster pointed out, some versions of grep have the -r option
to grep recursively in subdirs. More portable, however, is the following:
find /path/to/your/directory -type f | xargs grep -i 'your pattern'
See the manpages for 'find' and 'xargs' or the info page on 'findutils'
for more information.
G'luck,
Peter
