You can use grep to search through text files, including:
- Plain Text Files: Any standard text file containing readable text.
- Log Files: Files that record events, errors, or transactions, often in plain text format.
- Source Code Files: Files containing programming code, such as
.py,.java,.c, etc. - Configuration Files: Text files that store settings for applications or systems, typically found in
/etcor similar directories.
Keep in mind that grep is not suitable for binary files, as it is designed for text processing.
