Shell Programming and Scripting

i want to make a bash script that searches a specific pattern in files through all subdirectories beneath the current directory..without using the command grep-R
but only the command grep..

e.g
for i in *
do
grep "pattern" $i
.....
...
done

using the character (*) the script searches only in files beneath the current directory...how can i make it?????
any help would be appreciated

Milagros,
See if this would work for you:

Code:

find . -type f -exec grep 'pattern' {} \;

thanks for your reply..but i asked something else...
my code is:
if [ $# -eq 1 ]
then
echo "give the parameter"
exit 1
fi

for i in *
do
grep "$1" $i
if [ $? -eq 0 ]
then
echo "File $i"
grep $1 $i
fi
done


when i run this script...the message is segmentation fault..
what is the problem...???

Milagro,
Here is your request again:
The solution I gave with the "find" command satisfy what you asked for.
Did you test the solution?
What you are doing now is changing your own original specs.

Milagros,
I hope this is not a homework -- it smells like it.
In any event, here is your shell corrected:

Code:

if [ $# -ne 1 ]
then
  echo "give the parameter"
  exit 1
fi

for i in *
do
  mTot=`grep -c ${1} $i`
  if [ ${mTot} -gt 0 ]
  then
    echo "File $i"
  fi
done

thanks for your reply...it's only a book exercise and it's just for practice.it's not a homework... i am pretty new shell scripting ...
thanks again
