ideas on a string search

Therhino

Ok
I was tasked with trying to find and figure out which files need changed in the case of a hostname change or an ip change. Rather than reverse enigeering the entire build process i was wondering if there was a way to do a recursive search per ./ where i could just say enter /etc do say find ./ -string 192.168.1.100

thanks in advance for any insight commandline fu had something close but I couldnt work it....we are using rhel

Use grep and the recursive option.

Just as said above, try:

grep -r "192.168.1.100" /
