List all files within files recursively in Unix?


I'm trying to to grep through all the files within a certain directory. Is there a way to recursively list all directories & the files/directories within them via something like ls?


Solution

  • Try the -r option for grep. Here is a reference: https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-use-grep-command-to-search-files-in-linux/#recursive-search.

    The search matches list out the path to the files that match your pattern as well. Should be easy to extract that out using something like cut
