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
man grep. you may want to check -R and -H flags once again.
