Actually i'm looking for the word 'transaction' within the file. &nbsp;I think the 'find' works searches the file name.

our unix box doesn't recognize the -r, &nbsp;I tried egrep -i 'transaction' * and that seemed to work. &nbsp;what's the difference between grep and egrep?

I'm try to do a search for a substring (i.e. 'transaction') in any file in a mount point. &nbsp;For example, I'd like it to look through each file in the directory and show which file has the word 'transaction' in it. &nbsp;Is there an easy way to do this?

Searching for string in wildcard search

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
