Recursive Searches

[Marco A. Ramos]

I'm not sure what do you want to do, but you can try:


locate .php (if not work try befoure slocate -u to charga de locate data
base, and then try again)

Other option is:

find /* |grep -i .php

Both will list all files or directories with .php.

Subject: Recursive Searches


I'm trying to get Recursive searches working on my RH9 box.

Recursion works for neither ls no grep.

I've tried, for example, ls -R *.php   and  ls --recursive *.php  And
all I see is the current directory.  I know there are numerous *.php
files in the subdirectories.

I've also been through the range of grep recursive options, -R, -r,
--recursive and --directories=recurse

Anyone have any suggestions?  Is there some setting somewhere which has
disabled the recursive search?

Thanks very much.
