Hi managers

I searched the archives for an answer to the following question but found
only the question, very similar to my own, but no summary :-(

Can anyone help

Paul

Question:

Can someone shed some light on the command syntax to search ALL files on the
system for a specific word or phrase. It seems that it should be a
combination of find and grep but I haven't been able to figure out the right
combination.

Thanks.
