Goto each directory and subdirectories and grep the required pattern
Hi All,
I need your help in finding pattern from files present in different directories.
I need to search for a pattern "xyz" from "*.txt" files which are present in different levels of directories as shown.
example
-------
dir1/subdir1/file.txt
dir2/subdir2/subsubdir2/file.txt
dir3/subdir3/file.txt
dir4/subdir4/subsubdir4/subsubsubdir4/file.txt
..
..
..
dirn/...
If the pattern xyz is found in dir2... and dir3.. then i want the result saved as shown.
result.txt
---------
dir2/subdir2/subsubdir2
dir3/subdir3
The only static value is extension of file name (.txt) apart from this the directory names and file names can change in future.
Appreciate your help in Advance.
Thanks
imas.
