assuming you mean the string "vector":

        cd ~/Old/C++/myClass

        find . -type f | xargs grep vector

alternate solutions I thought of, in no particular order:

        find . -type f -exec echo {} \; -exec grep vector {} \;
        
or
        grep vector */* 
(assumes all files are located immediately under the listed
directory)

Explanations can be furnished if required.  HTH.
