grep without showing path/file:line
No need to find
. If you are just looking for a pattern within a specific directory, this should suffice:
grep -hn FOO /your/path/*.bar
Where -h
is the parameter to hide the filename, as from man grep
:
-h, --no-filename
Suppress the prefixing of file names on output. This is the default when there is only one file (or only standard input) to search.
Note that you were using
-H, --with-filename
Print the file name for each match. This is the default when there is more than one file to search.
Just replace -H
with -h
. Check man grep
for more details on options
find . -name '*.bar' -exec grep -hn FOO {} \;
From the man page:
-h, --no-filename
Suppress the prefixing of file names on output. This is the default when there
is only one file (or only standard input) to search.
