How to search linux files for text
Print This Post
grep -Ril “text you want to search here” .
The . is the current directory… you can change it to whatever you want…
-R is for recursive search, I.e subfolders (Remove if you only need the files in a specific folder)
-l is so it spits out just the filenames containing the phrase.
-i is for case insensitive.
