@daeheadshot

Helge sorry you found the voice annoying, I certainly wasn't try to annoy anyone -- I was trying to make the video "work safe" and sound professional, but I'll take your comments on board, and try to make future videos less serious

Hi,

It's a very interesting upload.

Could you pls. tell me how to search multiple strings in multiple files in a folder and subfolders?

[linuxbyexample]

@ritika8sharma2 Thanks, glad you liked the video. You can search all files and sub-folders by doing :- grep -rl "stringtofind" . Which will list the file names the string to find is found in, the dot at the end tells grep to use the current folder as the starting point. To search for multiple strings use the following format :- grep -rl 'string1\|string2\|string3' . Cheers Paul
