What is a better method of searching files? -- Joseph grep -ls 'Check/Money Order' `du -a | sed '/\.php$/!d;s/.*\t//'` # grep will complain that the args list is too long if the number of files found is too great. Otherwise, this might work for you: find dir -type f -name \*.php | xargs grep -sl 'Check/Money Order'
Thanks, this worked for me, it searches in current and below dir. find -type f -print0 | xargs -r0 grep -F 'Check/Money Order' -- Joseph
