How to search specific object in binary file?
I have a very important question:

I have to find a table 'XXTO_AR_TABLE' in a folder present in server and in this folder these types files are present: .rdf, jar file, java class file etc. These are binary files.

I want to get name of these files where my table named 'XXTO_AR_TABLE' is present.

Expected Output: (approx)
-----------------------
Code:
XXTO_AR_TABLE  is present in  APTBRX.rdf
XXTO_AR_TABLE  is present in  APJORF.class

Please anyone help on this, it's very urgent for me.

Thanks,
Vikash

You mean string, a table is a srtucture and most likely would be in memory or exist as a file or perhaps included in a binary. But you are looking for its name an so its a string...
Searching fo a string is achieved using grep

I tried to search with "grep" command but it is only working with SQL files e.g. package_name.sql. If trying to search in .rdf or .class or any other binary file, output is not comming.
Do you have particular command for this ? please suggest or provide the excact command.
