The grep utility is very useful when searching for text in files. This can be used recursively to find matching files. This tip will return the full path to all files containing the text you are looking for.

This is an example of the output of this grep one-liner.
4.4 Thu Apr 23 jason@Yog-Sothoth 1: $ grep -r -H "noclip" public/togl/glmgr.h: if (CommandLine()->FindParm("-caps_noclipplanes")) engine/cmd.h:// things like godmode, noclip, etc, are commands directed to the server, engine/sv_main.cpp:extern ConVar *sv_noclipduringpause; engine/sv_main.cpp: sv_noclipduringpause = ( ConVar * )g_pCVar->FindVar( "sv_noclipduringpause" ); engine/sv_main.cpp: bool bSendDuringPause = sv_noclipduringpause ? sv_noclipduringpause->GetBool() : false; engine/sys_dll.cpp:ConVar *sv_noclipduringpause = NULL; engine/sys_dll.cpp: sv_noclipduringpause = NULL; engine/sys_dll.cpp: sv_noclipduringpause = NULL; engine/mod_vis.cpp: // When noclip is enabled, we can't use this optimization because we're outside of the world game/server/player_command.cpp:extern ConVar sv_noclipduringpause; game/server/player_command.cpp: // If no clipping and cheats enabled and noclipduring game enabled, then leave game/server/player_command.cpp: sv_noclipduringpause.GetBool() ) |
This shows the complete path to each file from the current working directory. This is a very useful way to find files containing certain strings.
This is another method using the find command. This will find all files containing the word noclip.

it is also how to specify multiple file extensions to look for.
