grep question

[sossego]

Not sure where to put this.

Is this the right syntax :

grep -r $FILENAME /$DIRECTORY/PATH

?

Depends on what you are trying to achieve.

The G3 doesn't always show the full path if the search string is too vague.
I'm trying to find the location of LiveCD/$FILES without having to do a multitude of

ls /usr/*/{CONTINUED} |grep Live

.

Check the man page for grep. There's a flag to always show the filename of files that match. -h or something like that (from memory),

 

[crsd]

Use find(1).

find /usr -name '*Live*'

I'm using both options/solutions listed.
