I want to find a string from some file in subdirectory. Like we are in bundle/. and in bundle/ there are multiple subdirectories and multiple txt files I want to do something like

  find . -type f -exec grep "\<F8\>" {} \;

want to get the file where it contain string < F8 >

this command does work, find the string, but never return filename I hope anyone can give me a better solution to this, like display filename along with the line containing that string
