Send a message via ICQ to christo Send a message via Yahoo to christo
grep string *php

will get all occurrences of string in all the php files

grep -ir string *php

will do the same with case-insensitivity and recursion

the file names will be provided along with the, er, offending(!) line

oh and.. I just knocked up this one:

Code:
grep -ir string *php | cut -f1 -d':' | uniq


will uniquely list the names of all the php files containing string with case-insensitivity and recursion.
