Re: [cobalt-users] exhaustive search

["Ing. Ernesto Pérez Estévez" <ernesto@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

find / -name "*" -print |xargs grep thephrase|less

example:

find / -name "*" -print |xargs grep Linux|less

will show you all the "Linux" ocurrences.

It´s not perfect, but it might help you.

Regards

Ernesto
