In order to search for a pattern string in all files under a specific directory you can use following command:
find $dir -exec grep $pattern {} \; -print
just replace $dir with the directory you want to start searching in and $patter with patter you are searching for.
for example:
find /etc -exec grep support {} \; -print
find $dir -exec grep $pattern {} \; -print
just replace $dir with the directory you want to start searching in and $patter with patter you are searching for.
for example:
find /etc -exec grep support {} \; -print
