I have word like initialize_my_var:in sample.php and I included three library files, take it as a.php, b.php, c.php ,I really don't know where my label(initialize_my_var:)definition is present in my library files, is it possible with a pattern matching string to find which library file really have the exact term "initialize_my_var:" , I'm really looking for an exact pattern match.
View 1 RepliesI am a member of a group which has written a program whose source code is being held in a specific directory (~cs252/Assignments/basicAsst/project) and we want to go through and change the parameters for the function "sequentialInsert." My job is to find all occurances of the function call to "sequentialInsert" and to also list the files from where the code came from. Also, I have to be in the commandsAsst directory when I do this. I have tried grep and find combined together, and I am at a lost.

I am looking for this `struct messages_sdd_t` and I need to search through a lot of *.c files to find it.However, I can't seen to find a match as I want to exclude all the words 'struct' and 'messages_sdd_t'. As I want to search on this only 'struct messages_sdd_t' The reason for this is, as struct is used many times and I keep getting pages or search results.The directory I am searching in, has another directories so it will have to search recursively.I have been doing this without success:Code: find . -type f -name '*.c' | xargs grep 'struct messages_sdd_t'and thisCode: find . -type f -name '*.c' | xargs egrep -w 'struct|messages_sdd_t'

I want to show only the different or unique word between the two files (John)i was trying to get it with diff, comm, sort, uniq, grep, awk, sed
I am trying to use grep to only tell me files that include both words matching in a pattern file. However when i specify:
grep -f <pattern file> <file>
It pulls out anything that matches one or the other.
Not both.
how to get it to match AND not OR.

I would like to find a command which automatically finds and removes phrases which appear more than once in a text file. I still want to keep one of these phrases, but I only want to see one of them.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am looking for all the files that contain the text string 'moo.sql'. I ran the following:
find . -name '*.php' | grep -lir 'moo.sql' *
Unfortunately it seems to return non-php files in addition to php files. I thought the find portion of this would filter the file names so grep would only search php files.
I'm a frequent user of grep. I know that I can recursively search a directory using the -r flag:
Code:
// will recursively search all files
grep -r 'some string' *
However, if I want to limit my search to PHP files, the -r flag is suddenly useless:
Code:
// for some reason, this only searches the PHP files in the current dir
grep -r 'some string' *.php
Any good way to recursively search a directory and its subdirs for a string but ONLY look at PHP or HTML files (and possibly TXT files too) ? I'm really hoping for a nice, short command that doesn't involve using an exclude file and which isn't really painful to type. I do this kind of search very frequently and have resorted to either searching EVERY file which is really slow (TAR and ZIP files really slow it down) OR typing repeated commands to search *.php, */*.php, etc.
Is it possible to search ALL files on a system for a specific text string? I've been messing around with grep without any luck.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI was trying to develop a script which needs to check the count of files on hourly basis and if it find any addition it has to sftp and send a email on the status with filenames and number of files copied via sftp. I will put it on cron to run every hour.
I'll use ls /abc|wc -l to count the no. of lines for the first time and from then whenever a new file will be inserted it'll copy that file to another location or I'll take the date of the files and whichever is having a new date that will be copied to another location.
I am writing a shell script that finds all files named <myFile> in a directory <dir> or any of its subdirectories, recursively. I also need to take care of symbolic links that may form cycles, to avoid infinite loops. I am not supposed to use find command for the same

View 2 Replies View RelatedHow do I recursively generate a text file which has a list of all files on my server which contain a specific string anywhere in the files?
I know the following command can be used to replace a string recursively
find /var/www -type f -print0 | xargs -0 sed -i 's/old string/new string/g'
I do not want to replace the string, I just want a list of all files which contain the string.
