[Cialug] Find Files with String

[Josh More]

Or grep -rl "string" /  :)

It would, however, be wise to do as others have suggested and exclude
/dev/, /proc/, /sys/ etc.

Grepping /dev/zero might take a while.  ;)

The problem there is that it prints the matched lines as well.  I want
just the names.

I could put that output into cut though.  That's it!

grep "string" * | cut -d: -f1 -s
