I'm not seeing an option on grep for fullpath in qsh so I came up with this:
find /home/t2web/includes/##usr -exec grep -l 'abcdef' {} ';'

Leave off the trailing / on your starting path of you'll get /home/t2web/includes/##usr//foo/bar/file.txt

YMMV, there may be a more elegant way to do it.

Thanks,
Alfred

You can pass a recursive switch like: grep -r 'abcdef' /home/t2web/includes/##usr/*

However, if you just want the filenames you can use: grep -lr 'abcdef' /home/t2web/includes/##usr/*

I have a need to search a directory for any files containing a specific
string (example below)

grep 'abcdef'  /home/t2web/includes/##usr/*.*

This works fine EXCEPT it doesn't search any of the subdirectories (and then
any subdirs under those subdirs, etc.----> DON"T ASK WHY)

Newbie at this and quick search did not show (or at least I didn't see it)
but is there a switch or another parm that I could add so that it would do
the subdirs...
