hi does anyone know the syntax of the 'grep' command to check all files on a machine for a pattern e.g. "lawpc34", I've been trying:
grep -r / -e lawpc34 -H &> lawpc34.log & but that doesn't seem to work thanks a lot Andrew ------------------------------------------------- Andrew McRobert LLB B.Sc(Comp.
