Hi,
I'm trying to figure out how to find a certain string inside a bunch of
files. If I, for examples, look for a certain function in a large source
tree, I could do
cat `find . -name '*.c'` | grep 'a_certain_function'
but this seems quite awkward, furthermore it doesn't help that much
because I don't know in which file the string was found. Maybe there's a
tool that makes it possible to find a string in a bunch of files and
also to list in which file the string was found? Or any modification to
the command given above?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Johannes

you could also do something like this:
find -type f -name "*.c" | xargs grep -il a_certain_function
