Operating Systems OS X (Apple) Having trouble creating an alias for grep Post 302892823 by jim mcnamara on Friday 14th of March 2014 04:12:18 PM

Code:
find ~/workspace/myproject/ -type f -exec grep 'mytoken' {} \;

Try using the full power of find. -type f restricts the search to regular files, so it excludes directories. The "*" is not needed because find looks at all files by default. if you wanted filenames that end in dat, then -name '*dat' would be required.

ZGREP(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						  ZGREP(1)

NAME
zgrep, zegrep, zfgrep -- print lines matching a pattern in gzip-compressed files SYNOPSIS
zgrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [files ...] zegrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [file ...] zfgrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [file ...] DESCRIPTION
zgrep runs grep(1) on files or stdin, if no files argument is given, after decompressing them with zcat(1). The grep-flags and pattern arguments are passed on to grep(1). If an -e flag is found in the grep-flags, zgrep will not look for a pattern argument. zegrep calls egrep(1), while zfgrep calls fgrep(1). EXIT STATUS
In case of missing arguments or missing pattern, 1 will be returned, otherwise 0. SEE ALSO
egrep(1), fgrep(1), grep(1), gzip(1), zcat(1) AUTHORS
