This little utility searches a piece of regular expression in all

files of the current directory and subdirectories. The idea is to

solve the most common case of a typical `find | grep` command.  It's

not a replacement. It's not fully configurable. It's not what you

want. It's what I need and it might be useful to you.

### Usage

    findinfiles [-1iv] [-. extension] PATTERN [PATTERN2...]

    -1      Do not recurse directories

    -i      Ignore case

    -v      Verbose mode

    -. ext  Search only in files with the given extension

### Examples

    findinfiles -. cpp -. h class

Finds all lines that contain `class` word in `.cpp` or `.h` files of

the current directory and subdirectories.

    findinfiles Copyright

Finds all lines that contain `Copyright` word with a capital `C`.
