Doing a find and then greping will certainly find the string within a string (in the file name) and works much better and faster. You are right PxT, this will not search the string within the file.

Code:

find / | grep lib

You will find a zillion occurances of the string 'lib' within a string. Here is a small sample and I've not even refined the grep or egrep (and just captured small output).

/usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf/loaders/libpixbufloader-png.so.1.0.0
/usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf/loaders/libpixbufloader-pnm.a
/usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf/loaders/libpixbufloader-pnm.la
/usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf/loaders/libpixbufloader-pnm.so.1.0.0
/usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf/loaders/libpixbufloader-ras.a
/usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf/loaders/libpixbufloader-ras.la
/usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf/loaders/libpixbufloader-ras.so.1.0.0
/usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf/loaders/libpixbufloader-tiff.a
/usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf/loaders/libpixbufloader-tiff.la
/usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf/loaders/libpixbufloader-tiff.so.1.0.0
/usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf/loaders/libpixbufloader-xpm.a
/usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf/loaders/libpixbufloader-xpm.la
/usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf/loaders/libpixbufloader-xpm.so.1.0.0
/usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf/loaders/libpixbufloader-bmp.so
/usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf/loaders/libpixbufloader-bmp.so.1
/usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf/loaders/libpixbufloader-gif.so
/usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf/loaders/libpixbufloader-gif.so.1

Yes, it does not search the actual file. I normally use PERL for that and not xargs. For some strange reason, xargs and I don't gel.... when I have to search files and strings within lots of files I use command line PERL.

       -c, --copy	       Copy the files instead of creating symbolic links.

       -f, --force	       Force new files to be created even if old versions of the files exist.
