find & grep multiple files

[Jerre]

Hi,
i'm trying to make a script that finds all the files in /usr/share/app-install with 'beagle' in the filename
and then i need to get the lines where an empty space followed by a " appears

Now i got some parts, but can't put it together:

find /usr/share/app/install -iname *beagle* -exec grep * \"* -H {} \;

thanks in advance!

--- edit
i managed to get the following working with a friend:

find /usr/share/app-install -name *beagle* -exec grep ' \”' {} \;

but it doesn't work on my computer?

welcome to the forum

note inconsistent usage.

I found this to work pretty good:

cd /usr/share/app-install
find . -name *beagle* -exec grep ' \"' -H {} \;

note the space between "'" and "\"

Why do you need command find? As you can simply do a
cd /usr/share/app-install
grep -r ' \"' *beagle*

The -H option is omitted here as grep will use -H by default when you search in multiple files. The -r option enables recursive search under /usr/share/app-install.
