Need Help??

Or for people without rgrep:

find . -type f | xargs grep "whatever you want"
[download]

Which I alias (using bash) to:

alias superfind='find . -type f | xargs grep'
[download]

For that mod 1970's feel.

find and xargs and grep - add that /dev/null! by merlyn (Sage) on May 14, 2001 at 18:02 UTC
You won't get the filename prefix if `xargs` happens to hand `grep` only one item though. Always throw an extra `/dev/null` in there, which will be opened and bypassed, but is enough to ensure more than one filename at all times: `find . -type f -print \| xargs grep "whatever you want" /dev/null` [download] -- Randal L.

But to make sure you don't get screwed up by funny filenames, use: `find . -type f -print0 \| xargs -0r -iXX grep "word" XX` [download] I don't know how to work that into an alias though. ____________________ Jeremy I didn't believe in evil until I dated it.	[reply] [d/l]
