What about grep -R "myword" . ? Even works on regular expression (with e/fgrep). Type grep --help to see all the options you get (context display, ignoring anything that's not a proper file or directory, only printing filenames with matches, not the matches themselves, etc.). -- Heiko Wundram -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
