put it in a for loop:
for i in `ls`
do
grep -l 20773 $i
done

Quick question maybe someone can answer. I'm trying to grep a
number in a
group of messages in my maildir file. There are 4000 messages in this
folder and when running grep -l 20773 * I get an "Argument list too
long"
which I've come to realize is because of the number of messages, in
this
case, it has to look through. Is there a simple work around for
this or
will I have to work in blocks of say, 1000?
