Use command grep and locate

Question

How I can make the grep command locate certain words in the files specified by the routes found by the locate command?

locate my.cnf | grep user

(I want that grep command search the word "user" on the files found for locate command)

Answer 1

尝试：

locate my.cnf | xargs grep user

Answer 2

使用命令替换而不是管道：

grep user `locate my.cnf`

Answer 3

如果我正确理解你的问题，可能grep user $(locate my.cnf)就是你要找的东西。

Answer 4

为了在定位结果在名称中包含空格的情况下玩得很好，您可以这样做

locate -0 my.cnf | xargs -n1 -0 grep user
