To Whom, I hope several people can benefit from the script below. I'm placing it out on this newsgroup for everyone's pleasure, because several of you have made it possible for me to achieve more quality time. So, thanks to those, their efforts, and their help who helped me! The file-system search type is ext2. If you have any ideas to improve upon the script, let me know. Of course, the more global - the more slower the search and the more information spued out on the screen. Note: I do not take any responsibilities for any damages, loss, or marginal errors that may occur as a result of the following script. (Just added that line for my benefit). Help files cover all the details. It does not search links... that was done purposely. -------------------------------------------- #!/bin/sh # NUMARG=$# MBIN=/usr/local/bin MPATH=$1 MSUBJECT=$2 if [ $NUMARG = 0 ]; then echo "" echo "You need to specify a \`path' and \`subject.'" echo "" echo "" exit 1 fi clear echo -e "\n Results from your query will display in a moment" echo "<>************************************************<>" echo -e "\n Results from your query will display in a moment" > $MBIN/global-results echo "<>************************************************<>" >> $MBIN/global-results echo " FOUND THE FOLLOWING $MSUBJECT RESULTS IN $MPATH." >> $MBIN/global-results echo "" >> $MBIN/global-results echo "" >> $MBIN/global-results find $MPATH -type f -fstype ext2 | xargs grep -in $MSUBJECT >> $MBIN/global-results sleep 3 less -MIp $MSUBJECT -j4 $MBIN/global-results rm -f $MBIN/global-results ************************************************************************* Signed, Satisfied P.'S.
