Unix Tip #4479- June 16, 2025
TOO MANY FILES AROUND
In case there are too many
files in a particular
directory. When the
following is executed:
$grep "ABC" *
And it fails saying with
ksh: /usr/bin/find: 0403-027 The parameter list is too long.
what would you do?
Well you can do the following:
$ls |xargs grep "ABC"
