Full Discussion: find command fails mid-way during execution
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting find command fails mid-way during execution Post 302984012 by Don Cragun on Wednesday 19th of October 2016 04:51:47 PM

Just get rid of the xargs and invoke grep directly from find:
Code:
find . -type f -exec grep -i "Yello_Colors" {} +

Note to Scrutinizer: I don't think /usr/xpg4/bin/grep on Solaris 10 systems supports the -i option (but /usr/bin/grep does). And, since all of the filenames being passed to grep will start with ./, there is no need to use a /dev/null or -- operand to protect against filenames starting with a minus-sign being misinterpreted as options.

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.
