grep can do recursive search with the "-r" option. Something like this may do what you want: grep "QT" -r <some directory> Just keep in mind that this might be extremely slow if you have a lot of stuff at your home directory. Try narrowing your search a little, e.g. maybe just search in ".local" and ".config"? Hope this helps Aristos _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
