Question

I have a folder with sub-folders inside, all have many types of files. I want to search for a word inside the .css-files. I am using Windows 7 and I have grep.

How I can use grep to :

1. Find pattern and print it
2. Give file name (and path) if pattern found

Answer 1

Actually you don’t need find. Just use:

grep -R --include=*.css -H pattern .

this will recurse and look for all *.css in subdirectories, while -H will show the filename.
