Hypermail CLI string searching:

[as of 2004-10-21 (PS)]
-----
At yesterday's NE meeting, Marla asked haw to search the  Hypermail
archives for a string.  To do it, go to netserver and do

  cd /usr/web/nets/archives/internal/mailing-lists
  find . -type f -exec grep -i -l "str" {} \;

...where str is the string you want to find.  This will search all the
hypermail directories and list the files that contain the string.

If you remove the "-i", the search will become case sensitive.
If you remove the "-l", it'll show every line that matches instead of
the names of files.
If you replace the . with the name of a mailing list, it'll search just
that list.

EXAMPLES

To show lines that contain the string "Bob Brenner"...

  find . -type f -exec grep "Bob Brenner" {} \;

To show names of files that contain the string "Bob Brenner"...

  find . -type f -exec grep -l "Bob Brenner" {} \;

To show names of files in the bpop mailing list that contain the string
"Bob Brenner"...

  find bpop -type f -exec grep -l "Bob Brenner" {} \;
