Hi,
You can use it in conjunction with 'find".
Allow 'find' to get the recursive file list and use finds 'exec' ooption.
find /some/dir -exec grep "some_string" {} \; > some_results_file
To find all the regular files containing "test", case insensitive, in the
current directory and below, use:
find . -type f -exec grep -i "*test*" {} \; >/tmp/test_results
