Unix/linux/bsd/etc:
>grep -i -r "your stuff here" /path/to/your/access_log
The -i is case INsensitive
The -r is recursive
(You may not need either)
Hope this helps... -
if its freebsd instead of "-r" you can also use "-R"Originally posted by Gungadin
and for tgz archives use
Code:zcat archive_file.tgz | grep -R -i "your stuff"
