Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Find files ONLY in current directory Post 302253347 by gio001 on Friday 31st of October 2008 11:12:21 AM

My question is all driven by this:

I am interested in files in my current directory, such files have either a ksh extension or no extension at all.

I want to gather these files through a one line command and follow this with a grep to go through this list and produce a second list of the ones which have a particular string in them

Final result I found my search string in either ksh files or no extension files.

Can you help?
Thanks.
