[gentoo-user] [OT] search for a string in a list of files but.....

[Marco Calviani]

Hi list,
   i need to search for a particular string inside a list of text
files: i've thought of this very simple one:

cat *.C | grep GetChi

it works but however if the string is found it does not say in which
of the file it has been found.....

Is there a simple way to do it?

Thanks in advance,
MC

Hi Boris,

poor me, this was very easy. It was my fault because man grep says it all.

Many thanks for your help Boris,
