I tried the following:
Code:
find . -name "*" -exec awk '/IsAlpha/{print NR,FILENAME}' {} \;
But it takes very long time to finish, please note that I have to search in directory /data/Programs, but I think this command continues searching in whole /data directory, any suggestions to improve this search? Thanks in advance.
