![]() ![]() If grep -i "the string to look for" "$i" > /dev/null then echo "$i" fi done Į.g. To display filename containing the search string: $ for i in $(find /path/of/target/directory -type f) do \ Grep -i "the string to look for" "$i" doneĮ.g.: $ for i in $(find /usr/share/applications -type f) \ To search for the string and output just that line with the search string: $ for i in $(find /path/of/target/directory -type f) do \ (Note: As suggested in the comments below by this doesn't work with file/directories including spaces in their names.) Usage: wherein /path/to/search/in/ searchkeywordĮxample: $ wherein ~/Documents/ "hello world" bash_aliases or in a script: wherein ()įor i in $(find "$1" -type f 2> /dev/null) You can try following code as a function in your. name "*.php" -execdir grep -nH -color=auto foo 2>/dev/null + If you've the error that your argument is too long, consider narrowing down your search, or use find syntax instead such as: find. You may also use **/*.* for all files (excluding hidden and without extension) or any other pattern. To enable this syntax, run: shopt -s globstar. Note: By using globbing option ( **), it scans all the files recursively with specific extension or pattern. To search within specific files, you can use a globbing syntax such as: grep "class foo" **/*.c Note: -r - Recursively search subdirectories. If you have any questions, please let me know.You can use grep tool to search recursively the current folder with -r parameter, like: grep -r "pattern". Maybe I’m still thinking too much like a DOS user. Recursing not supposed to, AFAIK depend upon the file type that fgrep is searching in. Read all files under each directory, recursively this is I’m thinking that fgrep should recurse when *.txt is specified as a file type (and there are no *.txt files in the root dir).Īccording to the man pages, the fgrep -r option should: The same disfunction occurs when starting from the root directory. fgrep will then traverse the directories recursively and search all files (including both license.txt files in the current directory and sub-directory).This should have, as I understand it, found at least two instances- one in you will see one instance (I think) where ‘public’ is found in the license.txt file.Ħa.This does not seem to be possible with only fgrep. ![]() I want to scan only *.txt file type documents. Sorry, but it appears that I was unclear about the original anomaly. Kjg1eAM3vVRLkdSxfEgTqoICk+zGzbGF4v3iP5P5E4E4Egk9ioRvy70KKLOJkElz Example 1: Search for string test inside /tmp/dir recursively.
