A simple script I use for work to search the contents of files. It just wraps up ‘find’ and ‘grep’ to recursively search and display the location of the file.
#!/bin/bash
# Tanner Stokes - 8-23-12
# Search contents of files
if [ -z "$1" ] || [ -z "$2" ]
then
echo "Usage: csearch \"filetype\" \"content\""
echo "ex: csearch \"*.php\" \"my_function()\""
exit 1
fi
find . -name "$1" -exec grep -Hn "$2" {} \;
