[SunHELP] Grep Help

[Kovalev, Ivan]

rgrep is fine for subdirs, but you can have your criterias OR-ed using
egrep.

your line should look something like this

find start_dir -type f -exec egerep '(a|b|c|d)' {} /dev/null \;

This will go down recursively and also print the name of the file where a or
b or c or d is found.

I highly recommend rgrep (recursive grep), esp. since it can search
subdirectories.
