[SOLVED] Linux command to search particular text from files in all directories recursively

Issue

I want to search particular text from files in all directory recursively. This is sample folder and file structure.

root_folder
    |
    |
    |-----Folder-1
    |       |
    |       |
    |       |---File1.txt
    |       |---File2.txt
    |       |---Folder
    |       |-----file3t.txt
    |
    |-----Folder 2
            |
            |--File4.txt
            |--File5.txt

want to search particular text from all files under root folder. Expected output is search string along with filename where it found.

Solution

Use this command: grep -irl "text"
