Help me to find files in a shell script with any matching pattern
Hi friends.. I have many dirs in my working directory. Every dir have thousands of files (.jsp, .java, .xml..., etc). So I am working with an script to find every file recursively within those directories and subdirectories ending with .jsp or .java which contains inside of it, the the pattern "System.out.println", but at the same time it has to ingnore in the output those files which have same pattern, but with comment out lines: like this for example ( // System.out.println ). It has been difficult to me to ingnore those files with // System.out.println. files have tabs in some cases but in others not, I mean the format of files are diferent each others.

Here's my code.

Code:
for file in `cat /tmp/found_projects`
do
     file2=`find  $file \( -name "*.java" -o -name "*.jsp" \) -type f`
     _file=`grep -l System.out.println $file2 | grep -v testcases`
      grep System.out.println "$_file" | sed 's/^[ \t]*//' | grep "^System.out.println" >/dev/null 2>&1
     if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
       echo "$_file ---> Found"
     else
       echo "$_file ---> Not Found"
     fi
done

--
The result are not the expected..

found_projects --> is the list of dirs i am using the search inside of them.
sed 's/^[ \t]*//' --> for deleting all tabs and then check what files have lines starting with System.out.println

In conclusion, what I need is:
in conclusion is, get all the files that have the pattern System.out.println and ignore those on whose pattern is coment out, for example //System.out.println

pwd

PWD(1)							    BSD General Commands Manual 						    PWD(1)

NAME

     pwd -- return working directory name

SYNOPSIS

     pwd [-LP]

DESCRIPTION

     The pwd utility writes the absolute pathname of the current working directory to the standard output.

     Some shells may provide a builtin pwd command which is similar or identical to this utility.  Consult the builtin(1) manual page.

     The options are as follows:

     -L      Display the logical current working directory.

     -P      Display the physical current working directory (all symbolic links resolved).

     If no options are specified, the -P option is assumed.

ENVIRONMENT

     Environment variables used by pwd:

     PWD  Logical current working directory.

DIAGNOSTICS

     The pwd utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

STANDARDS

     The pwd utility conforms to IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1'').

SEE ALSO

     builtin(1), cd(1), csh(1), sh(1), getcwd(3)

BUGS

     In csh(1) the command dirs is always faster because it is built into that shell.  However, it can give a different answer in the rare case
     that the current directory or a containing directory was moved after the shell descended into it.

     The -L option does not work unless the PWD environment variable is exported by the shell.
