Grep Help

Steven Chen_1 — Thu, 13 Apr 2006 10:32:50 GMT

Hello,

I am wondering if there is a command/script to grep words from numerous configuration files in 30+ subdirectries.

I use:

grep "test.com" /disk1/oracle/* |more

it only search a file right under /disk1/oracle. I need 30 subdir under it that are all searched.

Any comment are very appreciated.

Steven

Try the find command:

find /desk1/oracle -exec grep -l "test.com" {} \;

Hi Steven:

The following will 'grep' within all subdirectories; be resource-conservative; *and* show you the filename associated with any matches:

# find /disk1/oracle -xdev -type f | xargs grep -i "test.com"

Regards!

Hi,

This will do,

for I in `find /dir/subdir/. -print`
do
grep "string" $I
done

I'd use GNU grep

# grep -r -w test.com /disk1/oracle

-r grep recursively
-w grep word anchored

Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn
