I am using SunOS 5.6
I want to search all files in side a folder containg a particular
string/text. folder may contain subfolders. I used grep but grep command gives only files in the current directory, It does not searches insde the subfolders.
Thanks

Hi,
One can combine find and grep to search for a particular string within a directory, including the subdirectories.
Example:
find . -name *.log -exec grep -il oracle {} ;
Best regards.
