Re: Easy way to search files?

The easiest way would be to use the find command.

$ find . -exec grep -l TheWordIAmLookingFor {} \;

This assumes a Unix OS or that you have cygwin installed

Augh. One `grep` process per file? I don't think so. Assuming GNU versions of the utilitites involved, how about `find -type f -print0 \| xargs -0 grep TheWordIAmLookingFor` Makeshifts last the longest.	[reply] [d/l]
