Search all files for text string
Is there a way to use 'grep', 'find', or some other mechanism to search recursively a directory structure for a text string?

Hello, Thank you for your question on searching files for a string. The command format I use is: grep -rl 'abc123' . This searches for the string (in this case abc123) in all files recursively (-r) and lists the results (l) starting at the directory I am located in (.) Note you do need to be logged in via SSH to use that command. Hope that helps! Kindest Regards, Scott M |
