I have list of file paths used in files(jhtml)
but since not properly typed are giving errors at the web servers. I tried the following
find . -type f|xargs grep -ni file
but din't work is there any easy way to do it?
Thanks for the help

What are you trying to do? I don't understand what you are trying to accomplish with the above command.

Try:

find . -type f|xargs grep -ni {};

Or something like that...

If you are trying to search a specified string in a set of dir,

#find . -exec grep -il "" {} \;
