Is there a cat | grep command (or equiv) that can recursively look for "QT" in all files in my home directory -- including hidden files? It would have to be able to output the full path to any files in which "QT" is found. Unfortunately cat does not support recursive searches.
grep can do recursive search with the "-r" option. Something like this may do what you want:
grep "QT" -r <some directory>
Just keep in mind that this might be extremely slow if you have a lot of stuff at your home directory. Try narrowing your search a little, e.g. maybe just search in ".local" and ".config"?
Hope this helps Aristos
