Michael recently wrote Search400.com with this question: "Every day we have hundreds of very small 1K to 100K files written to a directory (JDEB7333) on our IFS. All the files have the same extension of .log. Is there a native command or a utility (free or subscription) that you are aware of that will search the entire JDEB7333 directory for files with a .log extension for a keyword, such as "error" or "failed"?" Think you can help? Michelle Davidson Editor Search400.com mdavidson@techtarget.com

Thanks. We'll let you know when a new response is added.

I think you can use the unix command ‘grep’ from the Qshell.
I’m not an expert in unix-like shells, but the following commands could help you:

‘STRQSH’ to enter Qshell
‘grep “error” /JDEB7333/*.log ‘

this command will display each line containing “error”, and output can be redirected to a file.
