Question

I need to do something like this

grep -R 'MyString' dir/

But instead of searching within a directory, I'd like to search all files owned by a specific group. Is this possible?

Was it helpful?

Solution

Use the -group option of find as shown below:

find mydir -group mygroup -type f -print0 | xargs -0 grep MyString
