Find files with a certain extension, where the files contain a certain search term

Searches the current directory and deeper for files ending with the 'php' extension, where the file itself contains 'search_term'. Useful if you're searching a large website with lots of images and you only want to find a certain function or variable.

find ./ -type f -name \*.php -exec grep -il "search_term" {} \;

Find files with certain extensions

Searches the current directory and deeper for several extensions. In this example both files mathing 'php', 'html' and 'tpl' match the search.

find ./ -regex ".*\(php\|html\|tpl\)$"


As an alternative you could also use:

find ./ -iname "*.php" -or -iname "*.tpl" -or -iname "*.html"
