Can you please edit your post to use code tags? It's pretty hard to read. Thx

Hi Peterro,

I tried what you said but did not work. I want all the string marked in red in all the directories one by one and only if the red string is present in more then one directory then print those directories and the string.
how do i do that?

Thanks
Aditya

The -l switch to grep give the location of the file that has the match and not the matches themselves. Adjust as necessary.

Code:
for i in $Y
do
  $ECHO "Words to be searched:" $i
  for z in $OFFERING_FILE
  do
    $ECHO "The Path is:" $OFFERING_FILE_PATH/$z
    find $OFFERING_FILE_PATH/$z -exec grep -l $i {} \;
  done
done

Hi Peterro,

I have a problem here, the output not come like this, which is not correct as for example string "CCRCWebServerINSTALLDIR" only apprears in com.ibm.rational.clearcase.assembly.assembly, but is shows its appearing in so many directories?

What changes should be made to the logic?

Thanks
Adi

I think you're mistaking the output of the script: "The path is...." line with the output of the find. If that is the case, comment out the "The path is:..." line.

The actual find output seems to be finding 2 files.
