# Get Matching Filenames As Output From Grep
|
|
|
|
Standard use of the [`grep`
|
|
command](http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/grep.1.html) outputs the lines
|
|
that match the specified pattern. You can instead output just the names of
|
|
the files where those matches occur. To do this, include the `-l` flag.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ grep -Rl hashrocket .
|
|
./elixir/run-exunit-tests-in-a-deterministic-order.md
|
|
./git/show-file-diffs-when-viewing-git-log.md
|
|
./git/single-key-presses-in-interactive-mode.md
|
|
./internet/enable-keyboard-shortcuts-in-gmail.md
|
|
...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This recursive grep finds all the files where `hashrocket` appears. It only
|
|
looks for the first match in a file, so each file will only be listed once
|
|
even if there may have been multiple matches.
|
|
|
|
See `man grep` for more details.
