Re: Search in content of a IFS file

That example showed looking for the string 'table' in all the .php
files in directory /home/michael. the output of the command shows the
name of the file '/home/michael/dspcust.php:' and the line containing
the search string '// Put the results in an HTML table'. There are
multiple results.

You would do this:

grep 110000890 <files in which to search>

Files in the IFS may or may not have extensions, just like Windows or
*NIX files.

Hi,

When I use this statement nothing happens.
I even wonder if files in the IFS of an iSeries have extensions (?)



And can you please give me an example on how to search for a specific
string in the content of the file (so not in the filename itself) ?

Thanks a lot.
Guy

Use grep in QSH.

grep: 001-3010 usage: grep [-E | -F] [-c | -l | -q] [-ihnsvwxy] [-e
pattern_list] [-f pattern_file] [pattern] [file ...]

Like...

grep table /home/michael/*.php

/home/michael/dspcust.php:<table width="75%" border="1" cellspacing="1"
cellp
adding="1" bgcolor="#eeeeee">
/home/michael/dspcust.php:print("<b>The result of the ADDRFILE table query
is
:</b>\n");
/home/michael/dspcust.php:// Put the results in an HTML table
/home/michael/dspcust.php:</table>
/home/michael/dspsum.php:<table width="75%" border="1" cellspacing="1"
cellpa
dding="1" bgcolor="#eeeeee">
/home/michael/dspsum.php:print("<b>The result of the ADDRFILE table query
is:
</b>\n");
/home/michael/dspsum.php:// Put the results in an HTML table
/home/michael/dspsum.php:</table>
$

You can redirect the output to a file if you want...

grep table /home/michael/*.php > /home/michael/myfile.txt

Hi,

In an IFS directory e.g. /M3BE/env/PRD/Output there are thousands of
files.

I need a list of all files which have the string "110000890" in their
content

Who can help me ?


thanks
