How to do ls -l on results of grep and find?
Hi, Am running the command below to search for files that contains a certain string. Code:
grep -il "shutdown" `find . -type f -mtime -1 -print` | grep "^./scripts/active" How do I get it to do a ls -l on the list of files? I tried doing Code:
ls -l `grep -il "shutdown" `find . -type f -mtime -1 -print` | grep "^./scripts/active"` and that does not work. The command just hangs there. I was hoping to use find -exec but I can't get it to do exec and grep at the same time. FYI, the grep "^./scripts/active" is 'coz that is the directory that am interested in. This is what I end up doing. Hoping someone can advise a one-liner Code:
for file in $(grep -il "shutdown" `find . -type f -mtime -1 -print` | grep "^./scripts/active") do ls -l $file done Any advise much appreciated. Thanks in advance. Last edited by Scrutinizer; 06-17-2012 at 02:51 AM.. Reason: Add what I did - mod: extra code tags |

Hi Ranga,
Thanks for your reply. Tried that and it didn't work. It seems to print all the files and not the ones that just contains the text that am looking for. Also, I've managed to find the files that am looking for using grep -il "shutdown" `find . -type f -mtime -1 -print` | grep "^./scripts/active", but I want to a ls -l of them so I can see the timestamp of the files. |

Code:
ls -l $(grep -il "shutdown" `find . -type f -mtime -1 -print | grep "^./scripts/active"`) The option -print, instead of -print0, can easily lead to errors. You pipe the output to grep. What if you have a file with a space in its name, for example? Besides, I don't understand very well why you're using Code:
find . ... | grep "^./scripts/active" instead of: Code:
find ./scripts/active ... So, putting all toghether, I'd try: Code:
ls -l `find ./scripts/active -type f -mtime -1 -print0 | xargs -0 grep -il "shutdown"` or, which is the same: Code:
ls -l $(find ./scripts/active -type f -mtime -1 -print0 | xargs -0 grep -il "shutdown") Last edited by Lem; 06-18-2012 at 05:05 PM.. |

Code:
