find text on file

How can I find certain text into a file, without open the file?

Very easy, use:

grep "text to find" filename

grep "text" filename (as the above).

grep -i text filename (grep with -i option can be used to search case insensitive texts, i.e., lower or upper case letters).

grep Tona filename (will find your name from the file called filename)
grep -i tona filename (will also find the same).
