finding files containing text

[darfader]

Hi,

hopefully, I can phrase this one better,

I'm trying to find the occurence of a string in some header files in various directories below the one I am starting from, but this isn't working

find . -name '*.h' -print 2>/dev/null | grep -i seq_no

the reason for the ignore case flag is, I want to find which files have which case in them, but this won't select any of them !


tia,

find . -name '*.h' -exec grep -i seq_no {} \; -print

Try something like this:

find . -name '*.h' -print | xargs grep -i seq_no

Hope This Help
PH.
