Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi i have to find the shell script that contain the word

PROC__TO_UPDATE

SEARCH SHOULD BE INSENSITIVE AND SCRIPT CAN BE DEPLOYED IN ANY PATH.

I am on Solaris.

Hello,

Could you please be more specific in your requirement. Also please don't use capital letters while posting.


Thanks,
R. Singh

What about:

Code:

find / -exec grep -l "word_to_search" '{}' ';'

Hi Ravinder,
Ok.

I am looking to find the word say "abcd" (they may be in small or capital letters)
in the .sh file.i want to display the name of the file along with the absolute path.

Something like

Code:

grep -i "abcd"  *.sh

Is your search case insensitive?
I guess not

Depends. If you wish the word you are looking for to be case insensitive add -i switch to grep command. Find is case insensitive as this very command will find every single file no matter what name it has got.

like this

Code:

find / -exec grep -l -i "word_to_search" '{}' ';'

You mean to say -i is redundant here since find command is insensitive?
But find will be insensitive for FILE NAMES not its content right?




Plu i only want to search in .sh files

Exactly. Find does not consider content of the files at all. It just merely finds a file accordingly to condition. In this case we have no condition given so every file would do and for every one of them it runs that grep. -i switch is telling it not to care about case sensivitivity and -l just prints every file name that contains given string. Is that what you were looking for?
