Re: Command Line for Searching for Files Containing "Text"?

Hmm.  Try the following if you want to search within a specific directory:

for f in /directory/*; do grep "text" $f; done

or you can omit /directory/ if you want to search the current directory, so the command would look something like this:

for f in *; do grep "text" $f; done

I think this will do what you need it to do.
HTH.
 

That's a little complex why not grep "some text" /directory/*

Or grep -r "some text" /directory if you want to search all of the files 
in any directorys within a directory.
