Unix question

[George Simon]

Thanks.
The quotes were not necessary.  Ken's example worked perfectly.
I was trying to look for the string rctp(54)=
The \ is a escape character (just like in filePro) to tell grep (I guess)
that the (  and  ) are part of the string being searched,

        I'm not exactly sure which string you're trying to look for.  Is it:
rcpt\(54\)

cd (change directory) to wherever your filePro files are, then try this:

grep -y "rcpt\(54\)" */prc.*

The quotes are necessary because of the \'s and ('s in the string.

The */prc.* syntax tells grep to search all the filePro prcs one subdir
below where you are standing.
