I prefer:
$ find . -type f -print0 | xargs --null zgrep -l pattern
...though as noted, the "grep -r" construct is simpler

Unfortunately mogrep as implemented relies on the file
names to determine the file type. A neater way might
be to use the 'file' command to determine the file
type
eg:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ file *

I use
find . -type f | xargs mogrep $1
where $1 is the expression to search for, and "mogrep" (below) knows
what to do with binary and compressed files. -chris

You are searching for
I would like to search all files in the current und subdirs for a
char_string.
Why does this commandstring not work?:
ls -R | grep char_string
No error , no nothing - although this certain char_string is in a
simple ASCII text file!
