Full Discussion: Using grep to find files that don't contain a string
Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Using grep to find files that don't contain a string Post 302520897 by kalak on Monday 9th of May 2011 01:33:12 PM

gnu grep & gnu find:
find ./ -name '*.html' -exec grep -L "/top/js/file1.js" {} \; 2>/dev/null 1>./output.txt

-L is without match, -l is with match. also, the -v is not useful here, as grep with the -L effectively searches the whole file, and the -v is for the usual single line search (programmatically, I'm sure it's differently, but effectively is what counts here)

zegrep

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.
