how to find files that contain a particular string
« on: April 16, 2009, 03:50:04 AM »
I need to search recursively through a hard drive to find files that contain a particular string.

maybe grep -r "findme" * type equivalent.

This is workbench 3.1.

I really can't remember how I used to do this!@#?

Thanks

Thanks for the posts.

I remember the AmigaOS search now.  Yeah it was horribly slow.

Thanks for the aminet recommendation.
