For those of you with a really stripped down config with no xargs and a find that doesn't support -exec, the old fashioned way:

for i in `find <path>`; do grep <pattern> $i; done

find|xargs grep 'search text'

is easier to type :-)

xargs rocks.

find /users/ -type f -name "*" -exec grep -ls sqlload {} ;
It gives output like this:
/users/hattb/shirley_test_file

The -type f switch tells it to only look in text files.
If you want to redirect the output to a file:
find /users/hattb -type f -name "*" -exec grep -ls sqlload {} ; >out.txt

Hope this helps,
Shirley
