Well if you have GNU grep (most Linux systems do) then:
grep -r -l text-to-find directory-to-search
| Syntax of find is: find path expression (example find / -name
| *.ini)
Using find, and restricting to *.ini files:
find directory-to-search -type f -name '*.ini' -exec grep -l text-to-find {} /dev/null ';'
or:
find directory-to-search -type f -name '*.ini' -print | xargs grep -l text-to-find /dev/null
See "man find" and "man grep" and "man xargs" to figure out how these
3 work.
