How to Identify files with sed command contained in text

[grinder332518]

Hi

My home directory contains lots of files with differing contents and extensions.
I wish to identify all those files containing a sed command in the text.
I thought I could use something like

          find . –print | grep “ sed “
 

,

but this seems to look for files with “ sed “ in the filename, not in the contents.

Can anyone help ?

you can use,

grep -rin "sed" *

This will do a recursive search for pattern "sed" in each file.

Thanks Ashitpro : your solution works great for me.
