find and grep

Hi,
I need to find out a particular pattern from a directory, for example say X.

The X directory contains 10 c files, and it has subdirectory called Y, and Y has 20 c files within it.

Now I have to find out the pattern only from parent directory X not from sub directory Y.

I have used this type of command

X> find . -name "*" | xargs grep -l "getsum"

It will retrive result from sub directory also.....I need only for the parent dir.

Thanks
Sarwan

NAME
dir - format of directories on short-name HFS file systems SYNOPSIS
Remarks This entry describes the System V-compatible directory format for the HFS file system. It is provided strictly for backward compatibility and compatibility with applications expecting a System V file system environment. It is not compatible with the similar but more general HFS directory format in which describes a format identical to that used in an HFS file system supporting long file names up to 255 bytes in length. The structure defined in should be used in conjunction with the directory(3C) routines for portability to other industry UNIX implementa- tions. DESCRIPTION
A directory behaves exactly like an ordinary file, except that no user can write into a directory. The structure of a directory entry as given in the header file is: By convention, the first two entries in each directory are for and (``dot'' and ``dot dot''). The first is an entry for the directory itself. The second is for the parent directory. The meaning of is modified for the root directory of the master file system; there is no parent, so and have the same meaning. AUTHOR
