Ron,

You didn't mention O/S, so I'm assuming some unix variant.

Try this:
cd /top/level/of/directory/hierarchy/to/be/searched find . -exec grep -l sqlplus {} \;

Does anyone have a command that will grep for all files in a file system that contain a string like "sqlplus"?
I can do it within a directory, but I want it to look at all the directories.

Thanks!
Ron
