Re: Find files containing a specific string of text
This is useful and can save a lot of time, so this is worth remembering!
grep -lir "your text here" *
Here is what the parameters do:
- r – search recursively in to sub directories
- i – ignore text case
- l – output the name of the file and not the line of text
Type man grep for more details.
