Full Discussion: A string in a binary file
Operating Systems Solaris A string in a binary file Post 302762845 by Skrynesaver on Tuesday 29th of January 2013 05:43:08 AM

Code:
grep  $STRING $(find /root_path -type f)

Or if that returns too many arguments
Code:
for i in $(find /root_path - type f) ; do grep $STRING $i && echo $i;done

Of course you can reduce the search space by adding a -name =\*.o parameter or similar to the find command

Unfortunately Solaris grep does no support the -r flag as far as i know

SYNOPSIS

       string xdiff_string_bdiff (string  $old_data, string  $new_data)

DESCRIPTION

	Makes  a  binary  diff	of two strings and returns the result. The difference between this function and xdiff_string_bdiff(3) is different

       Resulting patch can be later applied using xdiff_string_bpatch(3)/xdiff_file_bpatch(3).

	For more details about differences between algorithm used please check libxdiff website.

PARAMETERS

	      o $old_data
		- First string with binary data. It acts as "old" data.

	      o $new_data
		- Second string with binary data. It acts as "new" data.

RETURN VALUES

	Returns string with binary diff containing differences between "old" and "new" data or FALSE if an internal error occurred.

SEE ALSO

       xdiff_string_bpatch(3).
