Looking for a generic script to search UNIX\Linux txt files for a string on SMP 7.1

I was wondering if anyone had a generic UNIX\Linux script on SMP 7.2 Inventory Solution that they had already tested that would search for a specific file and then search for a specfic string returning either that line or the whole file (or some variation of this that's easily tweaked!)

I stand by the accuracy of my Inventory of the organisation. Don't blame me for the picture that it presents...

Thanks.

I didn't really mean the contents of the file just the filename and say, path.

It is just the 1 line I would be looking for.

So in the example of 'client.conf' I was looking for generic scripts that would search for the file first and where present

(1) Search for the string 'Server-1' and return that line if found or even simpler

(2) Search for the string 'Server-1=servername.domain.com and return a TRUE

 

e.g.
# This is the Altiris Server name agent is working with.
Server-1=servername.domain.com

#

Is this similar to the scripts you've written before ............?
