Linux recursive grep

[bobbausa56]

I needed to review all jsp files on a single server to confirm which files contained a string pattern. The query below met my needs. Are there any other methods that could have been employed to accomplish the same task?

"find -type f -name "*.jsp" -exec grep -r -H -I "xxx xxx x" {} \;"

I'm assuming there are several ways to do this - I'm looking for another angle.

Thanks.

That's pretty much the method I use, though grep/egrep provide several options to recursively search thru directories. Check the man pages.
