Hi friends! 🤓 I am on a gnulinux and trying to list all files in the active directory and it’s subdirectories. I then want to pipe the output to “cat”. I want to pipe the output from cat into grep.

Please help! 😅

    grep -r print .

    I.e. Grep on print recursively from . (current directory)

    Or for more advance search find . -name "*.sh" -exec grep -H print {} \;

    I.e find all files with sh extension and run grep on it ({} become the filename). -H to include filename in output.
