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
of
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.
