Search for text, list files

June 11, 2009 by kdnewton

I've found myself needing to sort through a large number of files for a particular phrase. Thanks to the Gnu/Linux command line, I'm able to list the filename for every file that this search phrase is found.

How, you might ask? It's easy. And here's how.

Open up your favorite terminal emulator (often found under accessories).

Type the following:

find . -maxdepth 1 | xargs grep 'text to search for' -sl

and voila! An instant list of files where the phrase was found.

LinuxHaxor.net offers a list of "10 Free Linux EBooks For Beginners".

A few are repeats from other lists that have been shared here on NoLUG.

The article I link to calls itself "20 of the Best Free Linux Books". You can decide whether or not they are the best. The list does, however, cover a range of topics from being a new user up to advanced Linux programming.

At least one of the commands is intended for use on a Debian system (#6). There are some more handy commands in this list, in addition to the "Linux Tips Every Geek Should Know" that I reposted earlier.

A couple articles that are really just a collection of tips and tricks for the command line and a few other programs. A lot of the stuff I know I wouldn't use, but there is plenty of material here to make using Linux a little easier.

Found at TuxRadar.

Living with Linux

This is (as of this writing) a two part article of someone giving up their regular operating system for a little while in exchange for a Linux distribution.

I thought it might help new users, or people thinking about giving Linux a try, a glimpse into the experience of someone else who has done the same.

Free hi-resolution Linux Format magazine! I'm re-posting this for "maximum exposure", if at least for archival purposes.
