Find a word from multiple level files on Linux

Linux and Unix-Like Red Hat

To find a word from multiple level files:

"find . -type f -exec grep [word2find] {} +" is working on UNIX machines but not working on Linux machine. What is the equivalent command on Linux to find the word from multiple level files?

Input is appreciated.

try this -

find ./ -name "*.*" | xargs grep <word_to_find>

here *.* represents ur file naming pattern. you can replace it with your requiremnt.

maybe you try
find /home -name -exec grep "reg" {} \;

Works on my RHEL and Xubuntu servers...

All three give same results... If there are a large number of files, I use pipe xargs for quicker responses.
