find cmd 2

[Scunningham99]

Hi All

I am executing the following cmd to grep all files in dir, but i would like it to return the file names instead it just does the following!!!

find . -name '*.pls' -exec grep ICX_CALL {} \;

the above cmd returns the following, but i need the file names which contain ICX_CALL

8 ICX_CALL:

Thanks in advance!!!

Try including an explicit print with the command:

find . -name '*.pls' -print -exec grep ICX_CALL {} \;

Hope this helps.

Thanks Ken, But that seems to return all files in dir

What about ..

find . -name '*.pls' -print -exec grep -l ICX_CALL {} \;

Sorry Guys Same problem, returning all in dir

Okey-dokey, take out the -print again and use the grep -l as suggested by Greg. HTH.
