It's a nice excercise in bash scripting but quiet redundant with
today's GNU grep:
-R/-r/--recursive will replace the "find"
--include=pattern will replace find's "-name ..." (though many times I
use "--exclude \*.svn-base" to skip SVN files)
--colour will highlight the results
Less' -R/--RAW-CONTROl-CHARS will help page through the highlighted output.
So in the end you can achieve the same result with something like:
grep -r --colour pattern directory/ | less -R
--Amos
