I'm pretty sure it already exists a similar script.

I'd like to fetch the result of

for a specific word or character sequence

It should also be able to move though the sub-directories and show the files where it finds something.

Now I'm using a raw script, it doesn't show anything if it's in a sub-directory and .. I CAN'T KNOW THE FILENAME!!


(sometimes with "grep -a" )

Hi gionnico!

Does this:

# grep -r 'where_are_you_line'

do what you need? It greps recursively into directories, and shows the name of the directory/file that each match was found in. I have an idea for a script if you need something more customized than that... Let me know if this helps!
