find keyword

UNIX Solaris

Hi,

This is my first post.

Please help me.
I wanted to find a particular key word in the entire system not in the filename, it should be in the file content.
The output should display me...

<The filename>, number of times the keyword is repeated.

like

file1: 2
file2: 4
file3: 6
file4: 8

Here, I wanted to do a case insensitive search and the keyword can be anywhere in the word like if i wanted to search 'cat', caterpilli,pillCAtaaa are to be dispalyed.

Regards,
Pointers.

Hi,

To find the files with the string you desire,this will list all the files that has the below string. Now to match it exactly to your requirement , let me think ..if i get it i will post it.

find / -name "*.*" -exec fgrep -l "caterpilli" {} \;

This works for me , to find all files that has the string "/SFS"

find /export/opt -name "*.log" -exec fgrep -l "/SFS" {} \;

Thanks.

From man pages ,

grep -c will give count of the lines that matches t string, -i will ignore case. I don't have a shell now ,so i can't test it.

find / -name "*.*" -exec fgrep -lci "caterpilli" {} \;

Thanks
