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.
Thanks >Nico -
A friend of mine has a utility called "tgrep" which does exactly what you describe. Has anyone else heard of this? If it's not available out there I could see about getting it to you.
