The Linux syntax to find string in files is as follows:
$ grep "text string to search" directory-path
$ grep [option] "text string to search" directory-path
$ grep -r "text string to search" /directory-path
$ grep -r -H "text string to search" directory-path
$ grep -E -R "word-1|word-2" /path/to/directory
# Find string in files on Linux #
$ grep -E -w -R "word-1|word-2" directory-path
all text (*.txt) files located in directory
grep “redeem reward” ~/*.txt
Search all subdirectories recursively
grep -r “redeem reward” /home/tom/
search whole server
sudo grep -R “barfoo” /
search specific directory
sudo grep -R “barfoo” /etc/
