I want to find a specific word present in all the files ina directory....Please tell me the command to be used??

Thanks

Hi,

Try this out.
[code]
find . -type f -exec grep -i searchstring \{\} filename;[\code]

print "count,pub,prodline,group,sector,date,source" > $fname

cat sp_log.summary.$firstday-$lastday.ProdlineSector | sed "s/^ *//g;s/ *$//g" >sp_log.summary.$firstday-$lastday

cat sp_log.summary.$firstday-$lastday | sed "s/$/ $lastyy-$lastmm cache/;s/ /,/g" >> $fname

cat $fname | sed "s/NULL//g" >$fname.new


THIS is the part of a shell script which creates a .CSV file.

Now for the data under pub field, i want to inset a ' in front of the data getting inserted.

Can someone please help??

Replace the last command with something like

This adds a single quote immediately after the first comma, except on the first line. Take out the 2,\$ prefix if you want it on the first line, too.

All the other occurrences of cat are Useless, too; sed is perfectly capable of reading from a named file all by itself.

Thank you, i will check it out...

1 more query i had, in the first question, the grep method worked, Thanks

sibce it scrolls down and i am nto able to note anything

Thanks All for your help!!!

... or "more" if you don't have less. (Or "pg" if you have neither, but then you probably don't have a web browser either.)
