Re: Search OS/400 Physical Files -- MIDRANGE-L

Hi Shannon
its been many a moon since I worked with unix, but brushing aside the
cobwebs, I think you need to look at the unix command called grep

Does anyone know of a utility that will allow you to do a generic search

OS/400 one or more physical files (singly or all at once) for records
containing a particular character string?

I'm thinking of something like the Windows Search function which allows

you

to search for files containing a string within them.

I wonder if one of the unix-type commands I could run in Qshell would

have

something that would work.
