Question Search file contain some text
I am loging as root right now.

I like to search and find the file that contain the text of "NBC 10.5" Both string and number.

I know I need to use grep, but how do I use it???

Oh, yeah if I do, grep 'NBC' *
then it gives me error
grep: can't open usage

i thought root can open any files....
