Linux/Ubuntu grep a directory for a word. The quick version.
September 3rd, 2009
The explanationless version:
find ./ -name "my_file_mask" | xargs grep -i my_search_term
Thus, if I’m searching for the word “pork” in all files:
find ./ | xargs grep -i pork
Or if I’m searching for pork in all “.budget” files:
find ./ -name "*.budget" | xargs grep -i pork
