Hi, I hope somebody can help me. I have to search all the files in a directory and its subdirectories and their subdirectories for a string. I can search a directory at a time with fgrep 'string' *.*, but this is taking ages to do for every dirictory. Is their a way to grep recursively through the directories? I could not find anything like that in the manual.
