Re: All files in dir to Storable.pm data

That's definately a cute hack, but probably only fully useful on systems that lack an rgrep (or a grep -rl ) to do the same thing.

Update: I've been asked to post the syntax for rgrep so here it is:

rgrep    "the word I'm looking for" *
grep -rl "the word I'm looking for" *
[download]

Where * is the strating directory/dilenames to search through. Excecuting those commands will search every directory below the one you are currently in.

Or for people without rgrep: `find . -type f \| xargs grep "whatever you want"` [download] Which I alias (using bash) to: `alias superfind='find . -type f \| xargs grep'` [download] For that mod 1970's feel. -ben	[reply] [d/l] [select]
find and xargs and grep - add that /dev/null! by merlyn (Sage) on May 14, 2001 at 18:02 UTC
You won't get the filename prefix if `xargs` happens to hand `grep` only one item though. Always throw an extra `/dev/null` in there, which will be opened and bypassed, but is enough to ensure more than one filename at all times: `find . -type f -print \| xargs grep "whatever you want" /dev/null` [download] -- Randal L.

But to make sure you don't get screwed up by funny filenames, use: `find . -type f -print0 \| xargs -0r -iXX grep "word" XX` [download] I don't know how to work that into an alias though. ____________________ Jeremy I didn't believe in evil until I dated it.	[reply] [d/l]
