Finding a word using grep in group of files
« on: September 30, 2011, 05:56:02 AM »
I am wondering how using grep command I can search for particular word or string in group of files. I need to find some code in bunch of file. I know it is there but I don't know which file exactly holds it !

grep -r <your word> should search all files in current directory for given word.
