Get Matching Filenames As Output From Grep
unix
Written February 07, 2019
Standard use of the grep
command outputs the lines
that match the specified pattern. You can instead output just the names of
the files where those matches occur. To do this, include the -l flag.
$ grep -Rl hashrocket .
./elixir/run-exunit-tests-in-a-deterministic-order.md
./git/show-file-diffs-when-viewing-git-log.md
./git/single-key-presses-in-interactive-mode.md
./internet/enable-keyboard-shortcuts-in-gmail.md
...
This recursive grep finds all the files where hashrocket appears. It only
looks for the first match in a file, so each file will only be listed once
even if there may have been multiple matches.
See man grep for more details.
