Hi,
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
Thanks
Suresh
