I'm not sure what do you want to do, but you can try: locate .php (if not work try befoure slocate -u to charga de locate data base, and then try again) Other option is: find /* |grep -i .php Both will list all files or directories with .php. -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Cutts III, James H. Sent: Thursday, 14 October, 2004 9:47 AM To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: Recursive Searches I'm trying to get Recursive searches working on my RH9 box. Recursion works for neither ls no grep. I've tried, for example, ls -R *.php and ls --recursive *.php And all I see is the current directory. I know there are numerous *.php files in the subdirectories. I've also been through the range of grep recursive options, -R, -r, --recursive and --directories=recurse Anyone have any suggestions? Is there some setting somewhere which has disabled the recursive search? Thanks very much. James H.
