[color red]Search error[/color]

[amins]

Hi,
I am using an AIX machine and I frequently issue the following command to search for a word in all the files under the current directory:

find . -exec grep -q "word" {} \; -print
However, I frequently get the following error message:

grep: 0652-226 Maximum line length of 2048 exceeded.

Can anybody tell me how to cure it?
thank you in advance.

amins,

This is a limitation is the native AIX grep command. You will need something like GNU grep to get past this limitation, you can download it for AIX 5.1 at:
