CPU & Memory Print only Filename based on given String on file name
Hi, I am new to this unix world.

Any ways, I would like to write a shell script that can print the file name.

Ex :

directory will have 5 files with different name.No matter what are contents are.

Now I need to find the file which will have particular name (sub string ).Please do not look into contents.It should be in loop.
Please provide the shell script.

Please let me know if any one need more info.

Can you please provide script.

HTML Code:
grep -l "ABC" /directory
Yes no loop needed here for a single directory.
