Find a string within text files

 many times we do not know any file but which instead 

 we remember some text. 

 Or how many times we look for a file containing specific text 

 not know how this file is called ... 

 good you know what I mean. 

 Here 's a statement to the command line, 

 them solve this little problem .- 

  maxi @ sony: ~ / development / $  find. -Type f-exec grep 'string to search for' '{}' \\;-exec ls-l '{}' \\; 

 another way: 

   maxi @ sony: ~ / development / $   grep-i 'string to search for' folder / * 

 Simply replace 'string to search' by the text 

 want to find.
