Using grep with subdirectories

Trojan

Got it working with:

 find ./ -name "*.[c|h]" -print|xargs grep TPF

you know you can use commands in the find statement?
ie
find . -name "*.[c|h]" -exec fgrep -l {} \;

might be handy.

deRanged: that's what I said... cept using | rather than exec...

Cheers, anyway...

Hi all,

can any of you Unix wizards tell me how to grep through several subdirectories? I can't find a grep option to do the same.

I tried the find command as follows (I was looking for the string "TPF":

find ./ -name "*.[c|h]" -print| /dev/null grep TPF

but this didn't work.

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Al.
