Find and Grep

Find all files with given name (you can use Bash expansion if you'd like), and Grep for a phrase:

find . -name  -exec grep "phrase" {} \;

To display the filename that contained a match, use -print:

find . -name  -exec grep "phrase" {} \; -print

Or, use Grep options to print the filename and line number for each match:

find . -name  -exec grep -Hn "phrase" {} \;

The string `{}` is replaced by the current filename being processed everywhere it occurs in the arguments to the command. See the `find` man page for more information.
