I need a program to determine the .sas files which has a keyword 'employee'.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> Tue, 18 Apr 2017 15:40:53 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Programming/How-to-determine-the-files-with-a-keyword/m-p/350906#M273676 Babloo 2017-04-18T15:40:53Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Programming/How-to-determine-the-files-with-a-keyword/m-p/350907#M273677 <P>This question was asked on here last week...search the forum the answer.&nbsp;</P> <P>Recall that all .sas files are text files, so any command line search tools would also work, possibly even Windows Search.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>The key to answering this correctly in an interview isn't necessarily knowing the exact answer, but knowing how to approach it. You can get this experience either through work, or if not work then review questions on here.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> Tue, 18 Apr 2017 15:46:43 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Programming/How-to-determine-the-files-with-a-keyword/m-p/350907#M273677 Reeza 2017-04-18T15:46:43Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Programming/How-to-determine-the-files-with-a-keyword/m-p/350961#M273678 <PRE>grep employee *.sas</PRE> <P>from the UNIX commandline.
