Try:



grep -r --include '*.py' 'def test'



  • -r tells grep to search for files recursively


  • --include '*.py' tells grep to only examine files whose names end in .py.



The --include option is supported by both GNU (Linux) grep and MacOS grep



Discussion of pipeline approach



In the following command, find passes the names of the files found to standard input of grep:



find . -name "*.py" | grep "def test"


The issue here is that grep treats its standard input as the text to search. Consequently, the only output will be those files whose name (as opposed to contents) contains def test.



For example, let's create an empty file:



$ touch 'def test.py'


And run the pipeline command:



$ find . -name "*.py" | grep "def test"

./def test.py


The command finds this file because of its name. Its contents are never examined.

Question : What is the origin of the phrase "under your belt"? A google search revealed some webpages (e.g. [1]) that assert its origin is related to consumption of food -- once a meal has been eaten, it's under your belt (which is a relief). However, with such websites, I have no way to determine fact from "random guy on the internet making stuff up". etymology idioms ...
