Maze Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 hello dear php-experts, the question of the day - how to find a file with a certain text - the commands below do not help here .... the are good but they do not open the file find . | xargs grep "texthere" * grep -r "texthere" . grep -r "a target="_blank"" find ./ -type f | xargs grep "foo" hmm - well i guess that the grep command will help here.well i want to do a seach recursively - through all files in a folder.And i want to open fhe file - after it is found. How can we do this!?love to hear from you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
requinix Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 What do you mean by "open the file"? In an editor? vim (and surely emacs) accept multiple files as arguments and you can switch between them. grep -r "texthere" . | xargs vim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
