SCO UnixWare 7/OpenUNIX 8/OpenServer 6 FAQ : Useful Shell Commands :
How do I search in every file for a string like "See foo?" |
To find the string "See foo" in every local file, one can do a 'find' and 'fgrep' utilizing 'xargs' to run a group of fgreps at once which is more efficient than running one fgrep at a time: find / -type f -mount | xargs fgrep -l "See foo"
