Ignore my previous post--this is what you want:

Passing on something form Rob Owens (rowens at ptd.net):

I think you are looking for the 'grep' command.

"grep word path/*" will find all files in "path" which contain "word"

"grep word path/* | grep word2" will do the same, but then narrow down the
search to files that also contain "word2"

man grep for options.  But you might be interested in '-r' to
recursively search a path.
