A simple script
It is faster to use find(1) with xargs(1), but then the syntax is a little more complicated. Here is a script that reduces the syntax to a bare minimum for the most common usage - i.e., finding files containing strings. To use it, copy the text below and save it (e.g., with TextEdit) to a file named `pat' in your current path (.e.g., /usr/bin/pat or preferably someplace like /opt/bin/pat, if that's in your path). Examples of how the command is used are contained in the comments of the script itself. Don't forget to make the script executable, e.g., with the command line:
---- CUT HERE ----
A simple script
Thanks so much! I was looking for a 'UNIX' way to do this for some time. |
