Help Using Grep command to Find the string in the files in the root directory
I want to serch for a string in all the files in the root directory. i want the search to be limited to only the files in the directory i.e the search to be done only in the files not in the sub directory.
the approaches tried are
1)grep "pattern string"
this command was serching the pattern in all the files in the root directory as well as in the sub directories which is not required.
2)grep "pattern string" `find . -type f -print -o -type d -prune`
this was not giving any result
3) grep -| "pattern" *.txt
it says the pattern not found . but the pattern is present in files in the directory
one approach to this i have thought listing all the files in the root directory and not in the sub directory and then passing the output of this in the grep command. tell me if this is possible.
if possible it would be helpful if i am able to get the rite syntax for find command only.
Can some one please help me with this

sagasu - GNOME tool to find strings in multiple files SYNOPSIS
sagasu [string [dir]] DESCRIPTION
sagasu is a GNOME tool to find strings in a set of files. The user specifies the search directory and the set of files to be searched. Double-clicking on a search result launches a user command that can for example load the file in an editor at the appropriate line. The search can recurse into subdirectories and can optionally ignore CVS directories. Two optional command-line arguments can be given: the first is the initial search string and the second is the directory whose files will be searched. If only one argument is given, it is taken as the search string. No search is actually started, but the appropriate fields are initialized. Any subsequent arguments are ignored. More documentation is available through the application's Help menu. OPTIONS

The files to be searches are still assumed to be in Latin-1, not in UTF-8. The same goes for the command-line arguments and the terminal to which Sagasu is connected, if applicable. HISTORY
