Linux - Find all files that contains a given string.
In order to find all the files that contains a given string, we can make use of several commands. One of the simplest option is to use the grep command.
grep -R '/path/to/theFiles/' -e 'pattern-to-search'
With this execution, grep will go through all the files in the provided location recursively(since we gave -R option) and look for the string-pattern to look for. Then, it will provide a list of files that contains our given string-pattern.
