Grep in subdir, multiple files
Hi,
I m trying to have script to grep a pattern in all files under a directory. I use Sun Solaris, the below want doesnt do exactly what I want.

find /home/xxx/ tagHeu | while read FILE; do
grep text $FILE && echo 1
grep text $FILE || echo 0
done

I also tried running:
find /home/xxx/ -exec grep -c "tagHeu" {} /dev/null \;

but this one lists all the files under that directory and puts a 0 or 1 beside the name of the file if that file has the pattern in it.

I only want to get the list of the files which has that pattern.

In Sun I dont have grep -H or ggrep

How can I list the files which has the pattern I am looking for.

Thanks.

zgrep

ZGREP(1)						      General Commands Manual							  ZGREP(1)

NAME

       zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression

SYNOPSIS

       zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...

DESCRIPTION

       Zgrep  invokes  grep  on  compressed  or  gzipped  files.   These  grep	options  will  cause  zgrep  to  terminate  with  an  error  code:
       (-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*).  All other options specified are passed directly to grep.  If no file is specified,  then  the
       standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep.  Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep.

       If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked.

EXIT CODE

       2 - An option that is not supported was specified.
