how to search for a string in all filepro menus - REVISED

[Chris Rendall]

Below is a script I wrote to search the menus for the value specified and writes the matching records to text file in the logged in users home directory.  

if [ $# -eq 0 ]
then
        echo "Usage: fpmenu search parameter"
        echo ""
        exit 1
fi

if [ -f /home/$LOGNAME/menu.report ]
then
        rm /home/$LOGNAME/menu.report
fi

for filename in `ls /u/menus`
do
        echo $filename
        grep -ls $1 /u/menus/$filename >> /home/$LOGNAME/menu.report
done

chmod a+r /home/$LOGNAME/menu.report
less /home/$LOGNAME/menu.report
