I have a directory and several sub-directory and files reside within

certain tring's ocurence? Can any of you help me please?
find ~/tmp/ -type f -exec grep -l mystring {} \;
this will recursivly look for files in ~/tmp/ and print out files that
have mystring in them.
Of course grep has a -R flag for recursive operation ...
grep -R "some regexp" .
or.
rgrep "some string" .
