Question

I’m extremely new to python and I was just wondering how could I take a collection of files (sql), and using some specific keywords, find which line of code they are matched throughout all the files. Any notions, ideas or suggestions would be life savingly helpful.

Kind Regards

Solution

s = 'somestring'
names = ['file1.sql', 'file2.sql']
for n in names:  
    f = open(n)
    lines = f.readlines()
    for i, l in enumerate(lines):
        if s in l:
            print 'line %d' % (i)
