linux : find & grep Solved

Question

Hello,

you need to use the following command with grep and find:
display the names of files that contain the word "premier" starting from your "home" folder.

I tried with: find ~ -name * -print -exec grep "premier"

but I'm only able to display the lines... how can I display the file names?

Configuration: Windows XP Firefox 3.0.1

Hello,  this one should work too:  find . -type f -name "*.php" -exec grep -il 'pattern' {} \;   or this one:  find . -name "*.php" -print0 | xargs -0 egrep pattern  ^ ^ -- a penguin on the ice floe!

in fact, the -l (lowercase L) option does this: grep -R -l the -R option allows for recursive searching

Hello, I'm looking to search for a specific chain in php files on my server
I've tried many syntaxes, none of which yield results..

find /home | grep -R -l 'expression?param='
find /home -name *.php -print -exec grep -H "expression?param=" {} \;

this one only works in the current local directory
grep -s -R -H 'expression?param=' *.php

jeff · Answer

it doesn't work, but only on the "home" directory, not recursively

-n, --line-number print line number with output lines
-R, -r, --recursive equivalent to --directories=recurse

A little example:

I am searching for the word alonso in the directory /home/tetsumaki/allons-y

alonso is found on line 2 of the file /home/tetsumaki/allons-y/test.h
on line 5 of the file /home/tetsumaki/allons-y/test/test2.h

Search in the directory:

[tetsumaki@tetsu-arch ~]$ grep -rn "alonso" "/home/tetsumaki/allons-y/" /home/tetsumaki/allons-y/test.h:2:alonso /home/tetsumaki/allons-y/test/test2.h:5:alonso

Or if I am in the directory where I want to search:

[tetsumaki@tetsu-arch allons-y]$ cd ~/allons-y/ [tetsumaki@tetsu-arch allons-y]$ grep -rn "alonso" . ./test.h:2:alonso ./test/test2.h:5:alonso

If I want to search only in files with the ".h" extension:

[tetsumaki@tetsu-arch allons-y]$ grep -rn --include="*.h" "alonso" "/home/tetsumaki/allons-y/" /home/tetsumaki/allons-y/test.h:2:alonso /home/tetsumaki/allons-y/test/test2.h:5:alonso
