You need the grep command: # man grep # grep -ri 'searchstring' /some/path Along with grep, there's also egrep and fgrep. The syntax of that search string is too long to discuss in a mailing list - the book on regular expressions is in the order of 300+ pages! I strongly recommend "Linux in a Nutshell" from O'Reilly as a good desk reference that you'll pick up over and over again as you work with Linux. > uuganbat <uuganbat@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > I want to find files that are contain my searching text. > How I write find command please tell me. > > Find command`s syntax is: find [path..] [expression]; -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:ewilts@xxxxxxxxxx Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
