[SunHELP] grep.... recursive searching

[Prakash Venkatakrishna]

 Here's a few suggestions.. This is for the recursive search..

find . -exec grep -l "pattern to be matched" {} \; - Just list the files
which match the pattern.

find . -exec grep -l "pattern to be matched" {} \; >  /tmp/find.txt -
Redirecting output to a file

 vi 'find . -exec grep -l "pattern to be matched" {} \;' - will open the
file in vi so that you can edit all the files which match that pattern

 Hope you find it useful.

 Regards,

 -Prakash

	hello,

	I know that the grep command has the ability to search a group
of files... you
	can even specify multiple directories... but I want to know if
there is an
	option or some uncomplicated way to recursively search a
directory so that I
	don't need to enter each and every directory within a tree.
