Thread: Search inside your code easily

i know *very* simple, thinking how simple script has helped me on searching code specific words:

code:

#!/bin/bash in *;    if ! [ -d "$i" ];       if [[ $(cat "$i" | grep "$1") ]];          echo "$i"       fi    fi done

it searches files in current directory , outputs ones containing 1st argument, example usage:

code:

alex@mad-pc:~/documents/wallch$ for_every image create_html direct_link imageshack.py imgur.py log.txt screenshots.html start alex@mad-pc:~/documents/wallch$ above files contain word "image"

just sharing....

ever heard of grep -r?

code searching i'd rather recommend tag based approaches ctags or cscope
