View 3 Repliesfind a file or content by name recursively similar to the ms-windows function search with Linux? I can do find . | grep test.html suspecting it's not the best.
For instance, running find . | grep terms.htmlgives my expected result while locate terms.html doesn't even though locate gets updated db - it might have to do with that it's an USB stick the file is on?
I would like a command or a bash script that search all files in all sub, modified last 12 hours, in /var/logs and that contains "alfa" or "bravo". The output should be filename of the file or files that contains that.

View 2 Replies View RelatedLong story short, I got a folder with nearly 800,000 php files. I would like to search each file for a string and if it exists in that file, the file gets copied to another directory. Is this possible from the terminal? So far I got: grep -i -n -r 'ppr-1792' * | cp $1 move_to_here
But this obviously doesn't work. $1 needs to be the file name that contains matching text.

View 4 Replies View Relatedwhen trying to install a tarball i am getting the following error when configuring:
configure: error: in `/home/server/tazzed/mkahawa-printer-0.0.1':
configure: error: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check
I have noticed that the files and folders search in Unity, only shows up those files which have been amended (or possibly just opened) since the install.
i was wondering if there was a way i could have the search index (or something vaguely equivalent) all the files on my machine. This is especially important given that i reinstall the OS every six months on a new distribution cycle, copying all my old files across.
Without being able to see my old files the search is pretty much reduced to a recent history search.
Recently, every time I try to compile an app from its source code, after issuing the ./configure command I get this message:configure: error: C preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity checkSee `config.log' for more details.I check /lib/cpp but there is not directory named /cpp under /libthis problem occurs on all source packages.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm reading about GNU CPP(GNU C preprocessor). In the CPP manual -> 1.1 Character sets:
Code:
After preprocessing is complete, string and character constants are converted again, into the execution character set. This character set is under control of the user; the default is UTF-8, matching the source character set. I think "under control of the user" means to use the option -fexec-charset=, right? And in the above part, it says pretty clear: "After preprocessing is complete", so the job -- "string and character constants are converted again, into the execution character set" -- should be done by the C compiler(compilation proper), not GNU CPP. Then the option -fexec-charset= should be an option controlling the C compiler, not the preprocessor. But in the GCC manual, this option is listed in the "3.11 Options Controlling the Preprocessor". I don't understand this, If this option is an option controlling the preprocessor, it conflicts with the CPP manual. How to understand this?
I need to search in "/" and all subdirectories, all files greather than 30 MB.

Since I trialled a commercial company's map product under Wine somewhere in my system is still their name. Any gpx file I choose to download and the company's name appears in properties. Ggx files are also associated with Wine whilst an untainted PC in the house just has "Browse" as an "open with" option.
First things first, how do I find and delete this commercial company's name totally from any part of my system? How do I find their name in one or more of my files?
