help with grep

Clint Wilson_1 — Tue, 23 Oct 2001 19:50:00 GMT

i am not sure if its possible, but i want to use grep to search for a particular string in all files in a certain directory. for example, i need to find out which files in the /code directory contain the string "seriSC"
is this possible?
thanks!

#grep "seriSC" /code/*

be careful there are no binaries in this directory and you will be all right. You don't need the quotes, either, unless you have multiple words to search on.

Good luck
Chris

Hi,

cd /code

grep -i serisc *

Depend on the size of the directory it may take some time to give you output

Goodluck..
