Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers How do I grep in specific file types? Post 302166759 by MaestroRage on Tuesday 12th of February 2008 05:39:32 PM

now i'm not 100% on this, but i'm fairly sure you can solve this issue by using pipe commands.

ls *.log | grep whatever whatever

the ls *.log will find only the files ending with .log, and whatever output you get from this, is carried over by the "|" and lets you manipulate it further.

Hope that helped.
