Can we search a term (eg. "onblur") recursively in some folders only in specific files (html files)?
grep -Rin "onblur" *.html This returns nothing. But,
grep -Rin "onblur" . returns "onblur" search result from all available files, like in text(".txt"), .mako, .jinja etc.

Specifying File Type To do so, we can use a special type of option that starts with two hyphens: $ grep -ri "hello" --include=*. cc Test/test.cc:Hello World!
The grep command searches through the file, looking for matches to the pattern specified. To use it type grep , then the pattern we're searching for and finally the name of the file (or files) we're searching in. The output is the three lines in the file that contain the letters 'not'.
To recursively search for a pattern, invoke grep with the -r option (or --recursive ). When this option is used grep will search through all files in the specified directory, skipping the symlinks that are encountered recursively.
Consider checking this answer and that one.

The command is:
grep -r --include="*.[ch]" pattern . And in your case it is:
grep -r --include="*.html" "onblur" . If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
