Looking for tree string search program
This is not a homework assignment. Would like this for my own use.
I have 80,675 Files, 8,213 SubFolders.
I would like to search each file for a string, which will be last name.
matches string, outputs path/filename, either to screen or a output file.
I have done this to a single file but never to multiple files and folders.
If you have one that does something like this I would be most grateful if you could send it to me or post a link for me to see it.
Thx

In linux/most unix systems there are a lot of commands that could do this for you
grep -rl "search_string_here" *
grep -rl "search_string_here" /directory/path
egrep -rl '^'word_starts_with...'['contains numbers in range...']'
echo * | cat | grep -rl "search_string_here"
awk, sed, find, etc
In windows, you can try dirent.h include. It deals with files and directories
