I need some help.
I've tried the man file, but can't figure it out. How do I search my entire drive for any file containing a string of text? For example, if I wanted to search / for the string "this is a string" in any file, I want it to return to me the names of the files that contain "this is a string".
I'm having trouble with the syntax. Logic would tell me to try:
grep "this is a string" /
This doesn't work, however.
Can you help a brotha out?
