I need to seach all strings that matches "if [ 1 -eq 2 ]; then" in all files

If i put
grep "if [ 1 -eq 2 ]; then" *.* it is not giving any result

can you see if your version of grep have the -F switch? if yes, then you could use it for your case

Quote:

-F Match using fixed strings. Treat each pattern speci-
fied as a string instead of a regular expression. If
an input line contains any of the patterns as a con-
tiguous sequence of bytes, the line will be matched. A
null string matches every line. See fgrep(1) for more
information.
