This becomes handy once in a while, if you are connecting to some server via SSH, or simply don't want to open a GUI text editor for a simple search. for f in `find ./ -name '*' 2>/dev/null`; do grep -nsiHI keyword $f; done This would search recursively from the current directory. If you do not wish that, just use a simpler "for f in *", it should do the trick. The arguments from grep are also pretty cool, and it is worth to take a look if you have time. |
