Sort of.

find . -type '*.c' -exec grep "my_text" {} \;

Or a more robust version:

find . -type '*.c' -exec grep "your text here" "./{}" \;

Hi,

I'm trying to find a word in a file using find.
I take a look at the man of find but...
All i see is to find files, perms, etc.
It's possible to find an word in a text file?
All i can do is this:
$find . -name *.c -print

Many thanks.
