searching for Text within files.

i have a problem with a spamassassin rule. I know which rule but i don't know which file the rule is saved into. The rule name is BIZ_TLD

Code:

#cd /etc/mail/spamassassin

#cat * | grep "BIZ_TLD"

and it's coming back with this:

Code:

score BIZ_TLD 1.022 # Increased from 0.7: JGRAY 21-Feb-2005

i simply want to remove the above line but i don't know in which file it's located.
i tried:

Code:

#cat *.cf | grep -l "BIZ_TLD"

which is coming back with this output:

Code:

(standard input)

any ideas?

Print the filename for each match.

So:

Code:

grep -H "BIZ_TLD" *

would output the filename in which the matching text was found.

thanks ... easy enough
