Re: Search in content of a IFS file

Peter,

That searches the contents of a file named '*'. The '*' is no longer treated as a wildcard, because you put strong quotes around it, telling QShell not to expand it. (I don't know if grep expands wildcards?)

Seems to me (as I said in another post) what he wants is this:

QSH CMD('grep -R 110000890 /M3BE/env/PRD/Output')

Unless you have a good reason to make it more complicated than that?

Hi Michael,

Thanks for that link to Scott's explanation (and thanks to Scott for the
explanation); I would've been stumped. But from Guy's previous posts,
grep needs a list of files, and there are too many. If Scott's
explanation of how to get around it for "find" will work with "grep",
then this ought to work:

QSH CMD('grep 110000890 ''/M3BE/env/PRD/Output/*''')
