A single "piped" unix command for searching all the files in the current directory and doing a string match against a "pattern". For example -
> cat * | grep <pattern>
This will look for the word <pattern> across all the files in the current directory.
> cat * | grep <pattern>
This will look for the word <pattern> across all the files in the current directory.

Nerd2 : If you don't stop talking, I will catstarpipegrep your mom.
