UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hi, I'm currently trying to print the names of all the .txt files in the subdirectories that contain the string I'm searching.

I tried with this code, but it seems that it searches for the names that matches the string instead of searching for the string in the individual files and printing the name of that file that contains the string

Code:

find . -type f | grep "12/15/2001"

I also tried this code but nothing happens.

Code:

find . type f | grep -Ril "12/15/2001"

Can anyone help me?

Also, I tried this code and it seems to work, but only if the argument is "2010"
If I use "11/27/2010" as arguments it doesn't print anything.

Code:

grep "11/27/2010" * -lR

Code:

 grep "12/15/2001" $(find . -type f)

Consider this:

Code:

grep "12/15/2001" *

or

Code:

 grep -r "12/15/2001" *

Thanks you're the best!
Also, I just found out the last code I put out works and the reason it didn't print anything was because the string didn't exist in any of the files lol
