Hi all,
I seek your help in solving probably a silly problem.
I do a grep on my root and I need to parse out results as:
$FileName, $Path.
I used  $grepResult=~/(\w+[\.\w+]+)(\:)/; and took $1,$` for file and path respectively.
Now I face problem when certain file names are encountered like:
/tools/sav/GlobalPS.pl.2005-04-14
/tools/TitleLiner.cgi-ELFE-fixed etc.
$term=<some text input to be searched for>;
$fn="../ -depth -type f | xargs grep -i -n "."$term";
$output = qx/find $fn /;

[download]
$output is written to a file to be later read and parsed by perl.
I used find to look recursively as I work on Solaris
It would be great if someone to tell me how to overcome
slowness of 'find | xargs grep' (or any other recurssive grep) on Solaris.

Thanking all in advance!
