how to find files that contain a particular string

[kamiga]

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

Edit: WB3.1 has the search command to do this.
The following example searches in all files on the sys: partition.
search sys: "" ALL QUIET

There are some grep utilities for the amiga on aminet though.
Some claim to be faster than the search command.

AmigaOS Search command is ridiculously slow.  Don't bother.

FlashFind is the fastest one.  It is massively faster than lame old grep.

FlashFind is on Aminet.  I have been using it almost every day for around 10 years.

Thanks for the posts.

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

Thanks for the aminet recommendation.
