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.
