Re: Re: All files in dir to Storable.pm data

Or for people without rgrep:

find . -type f | xargs grep "whatever you want"

Which I alias (using bash) to:

alias superfind='find . -type f | xargs grep'

For that mod 1970's feel.

You won't get the filename prefix if xargs happens to hand grep only one item though. Always throw an extra /dev/null in there, which will be opened and bypassed, but is enough to ensure more than one filename at all times:

find . -type f -print | xargs grep "whatever you want" /dev/null

But to make sure you don't get screwed up by funny filenames, use:

find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0r -iXX grep "word" XX

I don't know how to work that into an alias though.
