finding text inside file
Hi everyone

I have a small problem i cant find a soloution to...

I'm using digital unix and have to find out all the files which have a certain string inside them and i dont know how to do it.

*This search is done as root.
*All files from '/' to the last directory should be searched for this string

Any idea anyone?


10x for advance
