Hi,
You may use the find command. find allows you to go through a directory
tree and perform some tests and actions on it. For example, in your case
you want something like
find / -path /mnt -prune -o -type f -exec grep my exp {} \;
Here, the / means start in /, the '-path /mnt -prune' means
Is there a way of using grep to search for a word in all directories except
those under /mnt ?

In fact, you probably want *only* the name of the file, for which you

I notice that grep -r *.c doesn't recurse through all folders (unless, of
course, they're called something.c).
How do I tell grep to recurse through ALL subfolders and find .c files?
grep -r *.c should recurse through directories to find

I don't like find and its complexity very much.
Recall that the tools in Unix are (or at least were at one point) designed to
do one
The grep command is a search tool for the command line. You can use it to fild
specific strings in selected files etc. To learn about grep use the man command
as in "man grep" (without the quotes). The man pages are a little criptic, but
with a little practice and carefull reading, you can find a

Searches, essentially. For example, type the following at a
command prompt:
rpm -qa | grep sendmail
that will show you all the packages you have installed
which have "sendmail" as part of their name. Or you can try

Maybe this would do it (as a shell script):

for $i in `find .`; do
cp $i $i.old
cat $i.old | sed -e "s/MarketingWorks\/Collard

I am NOT a shell script guru- you can tell because my for loop syntax is

Been investigating the problem I posted yesterday a bit more, and have a
slightly better way of expressing it now ;)
What I want to do is like issuing:
