Grep all files matching partial filename
What would be the easiest way to grep all files within a particular directory that match a partial filename? For example, searching all files that begin with "filename.txt" and are appended with the date they were created. I am using Ksh 88, btw.

What I would ideally like to do is perform a grep on all of the files, and if any of the search parameters are found, output both the filename and the line containing the parameter found. This is the default behaviour for grep, is it not? If no matches are found, I want to output an appropriate message.
I was thinking of something along the lines of: Code:
if grep ${vString} filename.ext.* > /dev/null
then
grep ${vString} filename.ext.*
else
print "${vString} not found in ${instances[x]} filename.ext"
fi

Try something like this:
Code:
#!/bin/ksh
for file in `ls -1 filename.ext.*`
do
result=`grep ${vString} $file`
if [ $? -ne 0 ] ; then
echo "${vString} not found in ${instances[x]} -- in $file"
else
echo "$file $result"
fi
done
