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
