Re: Search in content of a IFS file

[Guy Geboers <Guy.Geboers@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, 

When I use this statement nothing happens.
I even wonder if files in the IFS of an iSeries have extensions (?)

 

And can you please give me an example on how to search for a specific 
string in the content of the file (so not in the filename itself) ?

Thanks a lot.
Guy

Use grep in QSH.

grep: 001-3010 usage: grep [-E | -F] [-c | -l | -q] [-ihnsvwxy] [-e
pattern_list] [-f pattern_file] [pattern] [file ...]

Like...

> grep table /home/michael/*.php

/home/michael/dspcust.php:<table width="75%" border="1" cellspacing="1" 
cellp
adding="1" bgcolor="#eeeeee">
/home/michael/dspcust.php:print("<b>The result of the ADDRFILE table query 
is
:</b>\n");
/home/michael/dspcust.php:// Put the results in an HTML table
/home/michael/dspcust.php:</table>
/home/michael/dspsum.php:<table width="75%" border="1" cellspacing="1" 
cellpa
dding="1" bgcolor="#eeeeee">
/home/michael/dspsum.php:print("<b>The result of the ADDRFILE table query 
is:
</b>\n");
/home/michael/dspsum.php:// Put the results in an HTML table
/home/michael/dspsum.php:</table>
$

You can redirect the output to a file if you want...

> grep table /home/michael/*.php > /home/michael/myfile.txt
