Hi

I am looking for a unix command or a small shell script which can takes one parameter and then searches for the passed in the parameter in any or all files under say /home/dev/

Can anyone please help me on this?

What have you tried so far? If anything?

Did you even look at the man pages? Which part are you having trouble with? A basic grep seems to fit what you want - if that's not the case then you need to say why.
