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"

and for tgz archives use

Code:

zcat archive_file.tgz | grep -R -i "your stuff"

instead of " /path/to/your/access_log" can i enter a directory to search all files from that directory?
